Question

Out of 75,000 voters in a constituency 65%

voted. Find the porcentage of votes who did not vote. Also find the number of people who voted.​

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{35\%\,\text{did not vote;}\,48,750\,\text{voted}}`

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find the amount of people that did not vote and the percentage of people that didn't vote.

We know that 65% of people voted and percents are out of 100%.

We would subtract 65 form 100 to get out percentage that didn't vote.

`100-65=35`

35% of people didn't vote.

Now, we can solve the next question.

A total of 75,000 people voted. What we're going to have to do is find how much of 75,000 is 65%.

We would do this by multiplying 75,000 by 0.65

`75,000*0.65=48,750`

This means that 48,750 people voted.

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.
