What percent of the voters were in favor of building the shopping center?

Question

Residents of a small city voted on whether to allow a developer to build a shopping center. The number of votes in favor of the shopping center was 4,400. The number of votes against the shopping center was 17,600.

Answer 1

Total number of votes = 17,600+4,400 = 22,000

 

Percent of votes in favor = (4,400 / 22,000)(100) = 20%
