A chess club with 65 members is electing a new president. Leila received 52 votes. What percentage of the club members voted for Leila?

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of club members who voted for Leila, we use the formula for percentage:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of votes for Leila}}{\text{Total number of members}} \right) \times 100 \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{52}{65} \right) \times 100 \]

Now, we calculate \( \frac{52}{65} \):

\[ \frac{52}{65} = 0.8 \]

Next, we multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[ 0.8 \times 100 = 80 \]

Therefore, the percentage of the club members that voted for Leila is:

\[ \boxed{80} \]
