Marty and Biff were both running for student council president. A poll was taken to see how the candidate’s campaigns were going. 45% of the people polled said they were voting for Biff and 8% were undecided. The rest said they are voting for Marty. If 200 people were polled, how many said they are voting for Marty? Give me reasons, before answering the question

If 45% of people were voting for Biff + 8% were undecided = 53% were not voting for Marty. There were 100 – 53 = 47% voting for Marty. If 47% of 200 people were voting for Marty, 0.47 x 200 = 94 people said they were voting for Marty. So the final answer is 94.
