    Firstly, we can convert all of the fractions into percentages. To do this, we need to make the denominator of the fraction 100, and whatever we do to the denominator we must also do to the numerator.

    5 x 20 = 100

    1 x 20 = 20.

    So Carl recieves 20/100 or 20% of the votes.

    4 x 25 = 100

    1 x 15 = 25

    So Conroy receives 25/100 or 25% of the votes.

    If we add these together and Gilda's 5%, we get 50%. Since there are 100% votes overall, we need to do 100 - 50 = 50.

    Kyla receives 50% of the votes.
