Question

30 POINTS: The art club had an election to select a president. 25% of the 76 members of the club voted in the election. How many members voted?

Answer 1

19 members voted.

Explanation:

Percentage problems can be solved by a rule of three.

25% of the 76 members of the club voted in the election. How many members voted?

So 76 is 100% = 1. How much is 0.25?

76 - 1

x - 0.25

`x = 76*0.25`

`x = 19`

19 members voted.
