You can divide the figure as follows:
- A vertical rectangle, 5 meters tall and 2 meters wide, on the top right.
- A horizontal rectangle, 2 meters tall and 5 meters wide, on the bottom left
- A 2x2 meters square on the bottom right, where the two rectangles meet.
The area of the rectangles is 5x2=10 meters squared, while the area of the square is 2x2=4 meters squared.
So, the total area is 10+4=14 meters squared.
To start out, notice that you want the percent of voters that chose candidate A,
not the percent of the class that chose candidate A.
Your fraction should be "number that chose candidate A" out of "number of voters," which is the same thing as saying: "number that chose candidate A" divided by "number of voters"1) The numerator of the fraction should be the number of votes for candidate A, which is 11.
2) The denominator of the fraction should be the number of voters. You're told that "t<span>here were 11 votes for Candidate A and 15 votes for Candidate B," so there are:
</span>
3) Finally put parts 1 and 2 together into a fraction and multiply by 100 to get your percent. That is your final answer:

It would stay the same at 800,000 because there's nothing to show that it can be rounded.
The correct option would be C
