Question

Please, help I don’t understand what im supposed to do.

Answer 1

16,800 votes.

Explanation:

In the singing competition 42,000 votes were counted.

The winner received 3/5 of the votes.

The part of the votes that the winner did not receive was 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

So the winner did not receive 2/5 of 42,000 votes which is equivalent to:

`(2(42,000))/(5)` = 16,800 votes.
