Question

Leila ran for president of the chess club, and she received 36 votes. There were 40 members in the club. What percentage of the club members voted for Leila?

Answer 1

Answer:

90% of the club member voted for Leila

Step-by-step explanation:

Leila ran for president of the chess club and she received 36 votes . The club has a total of 40 members . The percentage of the club member that voted for her can be computed below.

total member of the club = 40

number that voted for her  = 36

a%  of 40 = 36

a/100 of 40 = 36

40a/100 = 36

cross multiply

40a = 3600

divide both sides by 40

a = 3600/40

a = 90 %

90% of the club member voted for Leila
