Leila ran for president of the chess club, and she received 36 votes. There were 40 members in the club. What percentage of the club members voted for Leila?

90% of the club member voted for Leila

Step-by-step explanation:

Leila ran for president of the chess club and she received 36 votes . The club has a total of 40 members . The percentage of the club member that voted for her can be computed below.

total member of the club = 40

number that voted for her  = 36

a%  of 40 = 36

a/100 of 40 = 36

40a/100 = 36

cross multiply

40a = 3600

divide both sides by 40

a = 3600/40

a = 90 %

90% of the club member voted for Leila

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180
