How many students voted for vanilla?

• 25%

• 5

• 7

• 25

Answer explanation

One-fourth of the circle graph is vanilla. One-fourth is a fraction; the decimal equivalent of 1/4 is .25; to change a decimal to a percent you move the decimal two places to the right to get 25%. In DESMOS, you can type in 25% of 28 and it will give you 7. Or you can take half of 28 which is 14 and find half of 14 to get 7 as the quarter.
