Question

Refer to the table above. Determine the percent of all voters that did not vote Republican or Democrat but voted "other" instead. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Then once you multiply by 100, or move the decimal to the left 2 spaces, it becomes:

9.9%, which could be rounded to 10% or 9%.
