Question

Debbie's town voted on a new speed limit. Out of 17 votes, 17 were in favor of the new speed limit. What percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit?

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Total votes = 17

Total votes favored the new speed limit = 17

The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit $=\dfrac{\text{Number of votes in favor}}{\text{Total votes}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{17}{17}\times100\%=100\%$

Hence, the percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%
