Answer: The total population in the city = 30,000.

Explanation:

Given: There are 18 % of the people are voters.

The number of voters =5400

Let 'x' be the total population in that city.

Then, according to the question

$18\%\ of\ x=5400\\\Rightarrow0.18* x=5400\\\Rightarrow\ x=(5400)/(0.18)\\\Rightarrow\ x=30,000$

Hence, the total population in that city = 30,000.
