Question

help im stuck pls -- 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.

Answer 1

9.9%

Explanation:

Well, you would just divide the "other" category and the "total" category and then move the decimal over 2 spaces, because you need to multiply by 100 to turn your answer into a percent, so:

`(222)/(2222) =0.09999...\\`

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%.
