Garth got 117 votes in the class election. 240 people voted. what percent of all the votes did he get? which equation does not represent the percent of the votes that garth got?

We know that Garth got 117 votes of a total of 240 votes.

if 240 represents 100%, then 117 represents the:

117/240*100% = 0.4875*100% = 48.75%

So Garth got 48.75% of the votes.

The votes that Garth did not get re 240 - 117=  123

So the equation that does not represent the percent of the votes that Garth got is:

123/240*100% = 51.25%

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
