Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Votes: 24 were for hunger relief and 6 were for environmental causes. There were 24 + 6 = 30 votes in total.

Thus,

30 votes - 100%,

24 voyes - x%.

Mathematically, you can write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{30}{24}=\dfrac{100}{x}\Rightaroow 30x=2400,\ x=\dfrac{2400}{30}=80\%.[/tex]
