Question

In a vote on the Clean Water bill, 46% of the 205 Democrats voted for the bill while 48% of the 230 Republicans voted for it.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To calculate the number of Democrats and Republicans who voted for the Clean Water bill, we need to use the information provided in the question.

First, we can calculate the number of Democrats who voted for the bill by multiplying the total number of Democrats by the percentage who voted for it:

46% of 205 Democrats = 0.46 x 205 = 94.3 Democrats (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, approximately 94 Democrats voted for the Clean Water bill.

Next, we can calculate the number of Republicans who voted for the bill by multiplying the total number of Republicans by the percentage who voted for it:

48% of 230 Republicans = 0.48 x 230 = 110.4 Republicans (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, approximately 110 Republicans voted for the Clean Water bill.

Note that these are approximations since we rounded to the nearest tenth.
