What are your choices? What is your answer?
To find the percent of voters who voted for Candidate A, you need to divide the number of votes for Candidate A by the total number of voters, which is the sum of the votes for both Candidate A and Candidate B.
Step 1: Find the total number of voters by adding the votes for Candidate A and Candidate B.
11 + 15 = 26
Step 2: Divide the votes for Candidate A by the total number of voters and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
(11 / 26) * 100 = 42.31%
Therefore, the expression for the percent of voters who voted for Candidate A is 42.31%.
