Question

There are 25 students in Ms. Nguyen's second-grade class. In the class election, 4 students voted for Benjamin, 12 voted for Sahil, and 9 voted for Maria.
What percentage of the class voted for Maria?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

the total of students is 25, so this is the number you want to divide by.

Since we are looking for Maria's votes, you will use her number of votes which is 9.

From here you will divide 9 by 25 so 9/25 to get the number 0.36.

now you can get your percentage by multiplying by 100%

0.36 x 100%= 36%

Answer 2

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

4             ?

----    =    ----

25         100

cross-multiply

4 * 100 = 400

divide

400 / 25 = 16

16%
