Residents of a small city voted on whether to allow a developer to build a shopping center. The number of votes in favor of the shopping center was 4,400. The number of votes against the shopping center was 17,600. What percent of the votes were in favor of building the shopping center?

5 answers

Total number of votes = 17,600+4,400 = 22,000
Percent of votes in favor = (4,400 / 22,000)(100) = 20%
4400/(4400+17600) = 20%
