Scarlet Knapp · Answer 1

20%. Because the total (4400+17600=22000) divided by the total for the shopping center =.2. Move the decimal two places to the right for the percent and you get 20%

Cristina Calhoun · Answer 2

Add the number of votes in favor of shopping with the number of votes against the shopping center

then divide 4,400 over the answer you got above and multiply by 100
