Question

A chess club with 25 members is electing a new president. Abdul received 23 votes. What percentage of the club members voted for Abdul?

Answer 1

92%

Step-by-step explanation

23 out of 25 people voted Abdul.

So that means
`(23)/(25)` people voted Abdul.

When you divide 23 by 25 you get 0.92 which is 92% (multiply by 100).

You divide because a fraction means the numerator divided by the denominator.
