To find the percentage of the club that Tammy received, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of votes received}}{\text{Total number of members}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, Tammy received 6 votes, and the total number of members is 60. Plugging in the numbers:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{6}{60} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating the fraction:
\[
\frac{6}{60} = 0.1
\]
Now, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
\[
0.1 \times 100 = 10
\]
So, Tammy received **10%** of the votes from the club members.
