Answer:
Jason's percentage is 68%
We end up getting 32% for Karen.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to get the total amount of votes.
17 + 8 = 25.
25 is the total amount of votes. If Jason had got 17/25 votes we can do 2 steps to get his percentage. We can simply divide 17 by 25, or we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 4. We end up getting 68/100.
So Jason's percentage is 68%
Now we do Karen. 8/25 people voted for her, so we can again, do two ways to solve this. One way is dividing 8 by 25, another way is to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 because we want it out of 100.
We end up getting 32% for Karen.
Yes 7.5 is clearly the answer here
