A class of 33

students elected a class treasurer.
There were 11
votes for Candidate A and 15
votes for Candidate B.
The remaining students did not vote.

Which expression gives the percent of voters who voted for Candidate A?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:42.3% or 11/26

Explanation:

IN order to calculate the percentage of people that voted for Candidate A you just need to add up the number of votes for that candidate and then multiply it by 100 and divided by the total votes.

There were 26 voters, since there were 7 that didn´t vote for anyone, so we have that 11 voted for Candidate A:

So the percentage of voters that voted for candidate A was 42.3 percent.

Answer 2

42.3% or 11/26

Explanation:

IN order to calculate the percentage of people that voted for Candidate A you just need to add up the number of votes for that candidate and then multiply it by 100 and divided by the total votes.

There were 26 voters, since there were 7 that didn´t vote for anyone, so we have that 11 voted for Candidate A:

`(11)/(x) =(26)/(100)\\ x= (11*100)/(26)\\ x=42.30`

So the percentage of voters that voted for candidate A was 42.3 percent.
