Question

The bar graph shows the percent of people who voted for each candidate for president of their book club. After a discrepancy is found, a second vote is taken. Which is the best conjecture for the number of votes Sidney receives in the revote if 40 book club members vote?

Answer 1

About 6 votes

Answer 2

could you explain if you can? :)

Answer 3

It would be 6 votes because she receives 15 percent of the votes, right? So that would mean 40 represents the whole 100%. Because she received 15 percent you would multiply 15 % times 40 to get the total votes. So .15*40=6

Answer 4

thank you :)
