Given:
A chess club with 45 members is electing a new president.
Bob received 18 votes.
To find:
The percentage of the club members who voted for Bob.
Solution:
We have,
Total number of members = 45
Votes received by bob = 18
Now, the percentage of the club members who voted for Bob is
[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{Number of members voted for bob}}{\text{Total members}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%=\dfrac{18}{45}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%=\dfrac{2}{5}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%=\dfrac{200}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\%=40[/tex]
Therefore, 40% of the club members voted for Bob.
