Answer:

500 Votes

Step-by-step explanation:

25/100 = 0.25

500/2000 = 0.25

Therefore 500 students would vote for Jen.
C.

The reason is because only a quarter of 100 said they'd vote which is found by doing 25/100 = 1/4 or 25% or .25 (all mean the same)

Apply that to 2000 by doing 2000 x 1/4 (or .25) and it should be 2000 x 1/4 = 500
