Question

A class of 40 students elected a class president.
There were 12 votes for Candidate A, and 18 votes for Candidate B.
The remaining students in the class did not vote.

Which expression gives the percent of voters who voted for Candidate A?

Answer 1

Number of total students = 40

Votes for Candidate A = 12 votes

Votes for Candidate B = 18 votes

Remaining students who did not vote =
40 - ( 12+18 ) = 40 - 30 = 10

% of students who voted for Candidate A :
12 / 40 × 100 = 30%

Answer 2

percent of voters should be calculated on the total votes done
so total votes done =12+18=30
so Percent of A =
$\frac{12}{30} \times 100 = \frac{1200}{30} = 40\%$
