What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

From the frequency table, it is found that 760 out of 950 candidates support Ms. White, hence the proportion is given by:

p = 760/950 = 0.8 = 80%.
