Question

Every two years, there is a local election in a small town. In 2015, a total of 29,000 voters turned out in the election. In 2017, the number of voters decreased by 16%. In 2019, the number of voters increased by 22%. How many voters turned out in the election for 2019?

Answer 1

29730 voters

Explanation:

so:

in 2017- 16/100=0.16 x 29,000=4640 so 29,000-4640=24360 voters

in 2019-22/100=0.22 x 24369=5361.18 so 24369+5361.18=29730.18 voters

I hope this helped
