3. The pie chart shows a percentage breakdown of 1000 votes in a student election. How many votes did Sue receive?
To solve this question, you must change all the percentages to the number of votes. To do so, all you have to do is take the percentage and multiply by 1000. This gives you 200 votes for Jim and 450 Votes for Jane. Now, you add 200 and 450, which equals 650. Then you take 1000 and subtract by 650 to get the number of votes Sue got. This is my favorite because i could figure it out without a calculator and it required very less thinking too.
