Question

Numbers 43 and 44 is what I really need help with…..

Answer 1

Exercise 43.

We need to find the percentage of voters in favor of building the shopping center.

In order to do so, we need to divide the number of votes in favor by the total number of votes.

Since there were 4400 votes in favor and 17600 votes against the shopping center, the total number of votes was:

`4400+17600=22000`

Now, dividing the number of votes in favor (4400) by the total number of votes (22000), we obtain:

`(4400)/(22000)=0.2=(20)/(100)=20\%`

Therefore, the percentage of voters in favor of building the shopping center was 20%.
