Question

If 596 people voting in the election how many were over 65 years old.

Answer 1

596*25%=149
149 people voted over age 65

Answer 2

People voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As shown in the diagram percentage of the people over 65 is 25%.

Percentage = 25 %

Total value = 596

Putting values in the formula

`25 = (Part\ value* 100)/(596)`

`Part\ value = (596* 25)/(100)`

`Part\ value = (14900)/(100)`

Part value = 149

Therefore the people voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .
