What? It’s showing votes for candidates. How are those going to be not exact?

Why do all the percentages work out to exact single digit percentages?
They are rounded up …
Do the math, they are not rounded. They all calculate exactly.
Not sure what you mean. The math outputs a rounded percentage that matches what you see there.
What do you mean “the math outputs a rounded number”?
Do the math without rounding
The number of votes was calculated from the percentages, not vice versa.
Bro, what? You have vote tallies before you do percentages…
Ok at this point I think nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac is trolling us lol
You guys are confused 😵💫
What are the chances the actual vote would work out to perfect single digit percentages?
“You can’t caculate a percent before you have the total count”
There’s is a total count
100 😂 that’s how percentages work. They come out to exact math you’re calculating from when rounded up…
This is a great troll btw
I bust me missing a piece of information, an image of some pretext or something because it seems fine to me.
1. You get your tally
2. You do the percentage math of total tally
3. Excel will output depending on your cell decimal settings.
Not sure what else y’all talking about
The tally was generated from these inputs:
1. Total categories (2 candidates + ‘Other’ = 3)
2. Desired percentage breakdown (lazily, all given in 1 decimal precision)
3. Total voters
You’d have to play with 2 or 3, or let an algorithm/program do that for you, to get it to all work out so evenly.
I’ll look again when I’m at my desk and plug it all in.
Excel will output additional zeros if you ask it to
