Question

Using the circle graph above, what percent of votes were cast for record E?

Answer 1

40% ?

Answer 2

Use proportions. Add the total of votes and cross multiply

Answer 3

So add all the votes up. 20+25+30+35+25+45. What do you get?

Answer 4

180

Answer 5

Alright, so since you're trying to find E (which has 45 votes) set up your proportion up as 45/180. Since you want a percentage cross multiply it against x/100.

Answer 6

25

but 25% doesnt look right when I look at the graph
