Answer:

We know that Garth got 117 votes of a total of 240 votes.

if 240 represents 100%, then 117 represents the:

117/240*100% = 0.4875*100% = 48.75%

So Garth got 48.75% of the votes.

The votes that Garth did not get re 240 - 117= 123

So the equation that does not represent the percent of the votes that Garth got is:

123/240*100% = 51.25%
