round to the nearest percent.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

Votes for playing outside: \( 45 \)
Total votes: \( 150 \)

Step2: Calculate the percentage

Percentage \( = \frac{\text{Votes for playing outside}}{\text{Total votes}} \times 100 \)
\( = \frac{45}{150} \times 100 \)
\( = 0.3 \times 100 \)
\( = 30\% \)

Answer:

\( 30\% \)
