Student Votes C509F6
1. **State the problem:** We have votes from students for three faculty members: Ms. Luz (60 votes), Mr. Henry (25 votes), and Ms. Lina (35 votes). We need to find:
a. The total number of students who participated.
b. The percentage of students who voted for each faculty member.
2. **Formula for total votes:**
$$\text{Total votes} = \text{Votes for Ms. Luz} + \text{Votes for Mr. Henry} + \text{Votes for Ms. Lina}$$
3. **Calculate total votes:**
$$60 + 25 + 35 = 120$$
So, 120 students participated in the survey.
4. **Formula for percentage:**
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Votes for a candidate}}{\text{Total votes}}\right) \times 100$$
5. **Calculate percentages:**
- For Ms. Luz:
$$\left(\frac{60}{120}\right) \times 100 = 50\%$$
- For Mr. Henry:
$$\left(\frac{25}{120}\right) \times 100 \approx 20.83\%$$
- For Ms. Lina:
$$\left(\frac{35}{120}\right) \times 100 \approx 29.17\%$$
6. **Summary:**
- Total students: 120
- Ms. Luz: 50%
- Mr. Henry: 20.83%
- Ms. Lina: 29.17%
These percentages add up to 100%, confirming the calculations are correct.
