To determine what percentage of females polled supported Wilson, follow these steps:
1. Identify the given values:
- The proportion of females who supported Wilson: [tex]\(0.24\)[/tex]
- The total proportion of females: [tex]\(0.54\)[/tex]
2. Use the formula for percentage:

\text{Percentage of females who supported Wilson} = \left(\frac{\text{Proportion of females who supported Wilson}}{\text{Total proportion of females}}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage of females who supported Wilson} = \left(\frac{0.24}{0.54}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the result:

[tex]\[
\frac{0.24}{0.54} \approx 0.4444
\][/tex]
- Then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
[tex]\[
0.4444 \times 100 = 44.4444\%
