The art club had an election to select a president. 35% of the 80 members of the club voted in the election. How many members voted?

Answer 1

To determine how many members voted in the election, we need to calculate 35% of 80 members.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[ 35% = 0.35 \]

Next, we multiply the total number of members by this decimal:

\[ \text{Number of members who voted} = 0.35 \times 80 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ 0.35 \times 80 = 28 \]

So, the number of members who voted in the election is 28.
