Question

A high school held an election for class president. Exactly 1,000 votes were cast and they were all for either Gillian or Clive. Gillian received 100 more votes than Clive. What percent of the 1,000 votes were for Gillian?

Answer 1

Answer: 60%

1000÷2=500

Clive: 500-100= 400

Gillian: 500+100= 600 (Because Gillian has 100 more votes than Clive)

$\frac{600}{1000} \times 100\% = 60\%$

Answer 2

60 percent is the answer
