A chess club with 60 members is electing a new president. Tammy received 6 votes. What percentage of the club

Answer 1

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.
