D. 15%​

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total votes are:

40 + 70 + 60 + 90 = 260

Rebecca has the highest percent of votes which is 90 votes. To find the %:

90/260 ≈ 34.62%

Amy has the lowest percent of votes which is 40 votes.

40/260 ≈ 15.38%

Finding the difference:

34.62 - 15.38

19.24

So, it's around 20%
