Question

in the following statement, express the first number as a percentage of the second number.
a certain candidate won 235 electoral votes in an election, out of a total of 410.

the number of electoral votes won by the candidate is □% of the total votes.
(round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide first by second number

$\frac{235}{410}$

Step2: Multiply by 100 for percentage

$\frac{235}{410} \times 100$

Step3: Round to nearest tenth

Calculate $\frac{235}{410} \approx 0.57317$, then $0.57317 \times 100 = 57.317 \approx 57.3$

Answer:

57.3
