To find out how many members of the city council voted in favor of the new tax, we need to calculate 64% of the total council members, which is 75.
First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
64\% = \frac{64}{100} = 0.64
\]
Next, we multiply this decimal by the total number of council members:
\[
0.64 \times 75
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
0.64 \times 75 = 48
\]
So, 48 members voted in favor of the new tax.
