Question

A classmate displays the results of a class president election in the bar graph shown. What percent of the votes does the last-place candidate receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find number of votes each person got from the graph:

** Each line is 1 vote

Greg = 1

Diego = 6

Amber = 2

Rashad = 3

Chloe = 4

Total Votes = 1 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 16 votes (voters)

Last Place candidate is the one with the lowest votes, that is Greg (1 vote). As a percentage, we would divide his votes by total number of votes and multiply that answer by 100:

$\frac{1}{16}*100=6.25$

So, Greg got 6.25% of the votes
