25= .25% so the expression would be 25=0.25% so candidate B got 25% of the 50 people's votes or you could say candidate B got 1/2 of the class"s votes

Answer:

%VotersB = (Votes for Candidate B/Total number of votes) × 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

  • Total number of votes: 50 votes
  • Votes for Candidate A: 15 votes
  • Votes for Candidate B: 25 votes

We can find the percent of voters who voted for Candidate B using the following expression.

%VotersB = (Votes for Candidate B/Total number of votes) × 100%

If we solve this expression,

%VotersB = (25 votes/50 votes) × 100% = 50%
