The students in Jeremiah's grade voted to select a guest speaker. 45 students voted for a famous athlete. If there are 90 students in Jeremiah's grade, what percentage of the students voted for the athlete?
Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

Answer:

50% of the students voted for the athlete.

Step-by-step explanation:

half of 90 = 45 which means 45 + 45 = 90

so 50% of the class voted for the athlete

Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

45 is half of 90. A percent is out of 100. So when you split 100 in half, it equals 50. The answer is 50%. Glad I could help!
