Question

a. In a​ town, 273,600 votes were cast in an election.​ 57% of those who were registered voted. How many registered voters are there in the​ town?

Answer 1

Answer: 155,952 register voters

Step 1: First we can divide 273,600 by half so we can know that the answer will be more than 136,800 because that’s 50% already but we need to know 57%

Step 2: We can multiply 0.57% by 273,600 to get the total amount of voters.

Hope this helped!
