Question

Debbie's town voted on a new speed limit. Out of 17 votes, 17 were in favor of the new speed limit. What percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit?

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%

Explanation:

Given: Total votes = 17

Total votes favored the new speed limit = 17

The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit
`=\frac{\text{Number of votes in favor}}{\text{Total votes}}*100\\\\=(17)/(17)*100\%=100\%`

Hence, the percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%
