Question

Myron receives 10 votes from his class of 25 students, what percentage does he receive?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

• A percentage is essentially part/whole * 100.

Since Myron received 10 votes (part) out of the 25 total votes possible (whole), we can find the percent by dividing 10 by 25 and multiplying by 100.

Percentage = (10/25) * 100

Percentage = (2/5) * 100

Percentage = 200/5

Percentage = 40

Thus, Myron received 40% of the votes.
