Answer: A) 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is
Carl, Gilda, Conroy, and Kyla are the four candidates in a school election. Carl received 1/5 of the votes, Gilda received 10% of the votes, and Conroy received 1/4 of the votes. If Kyla received all of the remaining votes, what percentage of the votes did she receive? A. 45\% B. 55\% C. 20\% D. 50\%
Solution:
The total percentage of the votes that is spread among the 4 contestants is 100%
Carl received 1/5 of the votes. It means that the percentage of votes that Carl received is
1/5 × 100 = 20%
Gilda received 10% of the votes.
Conroy received 1/4 of the votes. It means that the percentage of the votes that Conroy received is
1/4 × 100 = 25%
Therefore, if Kyla received all of the remaining votes, then the percentage of the votes that she received is
100 - (20 + 10 + 25) = 45%
