Question

The students at Isaac's school voted between a bear and a lion as the new school mascot. 47 students voted for the bear and 893 students voted for the lion. What percentage of students voted for the bear?

Answer 1

Answer:

5% of students voted for the bear.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to calculate this we have to find it out of the total number of students multiplied by 100

893 + 47 = 940

$\frac{47}{940}*\frac{100}{1}$

So let 47 divide 940. Then it will be; $\frac{1}{20}*\frac{100}{1}$ = $\frac{100}{20}$ = 5

This means that 5% of the students voted for the bear.
