Help me please to find a percentage

Hi boys and Math girls.

My name is Ramona and I am a desesperate mother that is trying to help his children to do a math problem about percentage.
The problem is about 450 student that voted and one student got 350 voted then find the percentage of votes that she got.
I hope find a answer with you. I know this answer will not come inmediatelly, but for the future I will know how to do it. I don't like to look like an ignorante in front of my children.
I apoligeze all of you because I do not write perfec in English, I am learning.

Every one have a Nices morning, or day.

Re: Help me please to find a percentage

From what I can understand, out of 450 votes, a student got 350 votes.
The percentage of votes he or she got is 350/450 x 100%
i.e. 77.77777777777777....% rounded off to
77.78%.
