12 students out of 40 students voted for Candidate A.

Therefore the ratio of votes for Candidate A is 12/40.

12/40 as a percentage is 30 percent.

Hey You!

12/40 = Candidate A.

18/40 = Candidate B.

12 + 18 = 30

40 - 30 = 10

10/40 = Those who didn't vote.

ANSWER:

12 ÷ 40 = .3 (30%) So 30% voted for Candidate A.

18 ÷ 40 = .45 (45%) So 45% voted for Candidate B.

10 ÷ 40 = .25 (25%) So 25% didn't vote at all.
