60 votes are required to change a village parking law. if 9/20 of the 100 people in a village vote to change the law, are there enough votes to change the law?

so find 9/20 of 100
'of' means multiply so
9/20 times 100=900/20=90/2=45
45 chose to change it
45 is less than 60 so the answer is no

Find 9/20 of 100

9/20 * 100 = 900/20 = 45

So 45 people voted to change the law, and that's not enough.
