A chess club with 55 members is electing a new president. Ali received 33 votes. What percentage of the club members voted for Ali?

100(33/55) = ______%

It should be 60%

Right.

455

To find the percentage of the club members that voted for Ali, you need to divide the number of votes Ali received by the total number of club members and then multiply the result by 100.

First, calculate the percentage:

Percentage = (Votes for Ali / Total Club Members) * 100

In this case, Ali received 33 votes and the chess club has 55 members, so the calculation would be:

Percentage = (33 / 55) * 100

Now, let's calculate it:

Percentage = (0.6) * 100

Percentage = 60

Therefore, Ali received 60% of the votes from the chess club members.
