Question 306427: In a poll about favorite ice cream flavors, chocolate received 8 out of 25 votes from
children and 7 out of 28 votes from adults. Which group gave chocolate the higher percent of its vote?
I know if I divide 7 by 28 I get 25% and 8 by 25 I get 32% so the answer is the children, however, I do not know how to set the problem up and I must show my work. Thank you.
