Q. There are 2525 students in Ms. Nguyen's second-grade class. In the class election, 44 students voted for Benjamin, 1212 voted for Sahil, and 99 voted for Maria. What percent of the class voted for Maria?\newline(Ignore the \% symbol when entering your answer. For example, if the answer is 11% 11 \% , enter 1111.) )
  1. Calculate Total Votes: Determine the total number of votes cast in the election.\newlineWe know that 44 students voted for Benjamin, 1212 voted for Sahil, and 99 voted for Maria. To find the total number of votes, we add these numbers together.\newline44 (votes for Benjamin) + 1212 (votes for Sahil) + 99 (votes for Maria) = 2525 (total votes)
  2. Calculate Maria's Percentage: Calculate the percentage of votes that Maria received. To find the percentage of the class that voted for Maria, we divide the number of votes Maria received by the total number of votes and then multiply by 100100. \newline9 (votes for Maria) 25 (total votes)×100=(925)×100\frac{9 \text{ (votes for Maria) }}{25 \text{ (total votes)}} \times 100 = \left(\frac{9}{25}\right) \times 100
  3. Find Maria's Percentage: Perform the division and multiplication to find the percentage.\newline(925)×100=0.36×100=36%(\frac{9}{25}) \times 100 = 0.36 \times 100 = 36\%\newlineMaria received 36%36\% of the total votes.
