If Megan received 21 votes and Alyssa received 29 votes, then there were 21 + 29 = 50 votes total.

29 is what percent of 50?

"is" means =

"what" means x

"percent" means /100

"of" means *

29 = x/100 * 50

29 = x * 1/2

x = 29 / (1/2)

x = 29 * 2

x = 58

Answer:  Alyssa received 58% of the votes.
