Question

Vanilla received 48 votes, which was 20% of the vote. How many total votes were cast?

Answer 1

240

Explanation:

The way we find out is not addition nor multiplication. Instead, it is division.

• 20% = 20/100 = 2/10.
• 48 / 2/10 = 240

The same way the equation results:

• 48 / 20% = 240
• 48 / 20/100 = 240

Final Answer:

240
