Respuesta :

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

5% of students voted for the bear.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to calculate this we have to find it out of the total number of students multiplied by 100

893 + 47 = 940

[tex]\frac{47}{940}*\frac{100}{1}[/tex]

So let 47 divide 940. Then it will be; [tex]\frac{1}{20}*\frac{100}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{100}{20}[/tex] = 5

This means that 5% of the students voted for the bear.
