Given:

Particular city estimates that only 2/5 of its eligible voters went to the polls.

30,000 voters were at the polls.

To find:

The number of eligible voters in the city.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of votes at the polls = 30000

Estimated eligible voters went to the polls =
(2)/(5)

Now, the number of eligible voters is


\text{Eligible voters}=30000* (2)/(5)


\text{Eligible voters}=(60000)/(5)


\text{Eligible voters}=12000

Therefore, total number of eligible voters is 12000.
