Question

40 percent of the voters chose shane. If 540 voters chose the other candidates, how many voters were there?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To answer the question, we can use algebra. Let's assume that the total number of voters is "x". If 40% of the voters chose Shane, then 60% of the voters chose the other candidates. We can set up an equation:

0.6x = 540

Solving for x, we get:

x = 900

Therefore, there were 900 voters in total.

Answer: 900
