Answer 1

Since the chart has the name "Registered Country Voters", it only includes the registered voters, that is the approximately 300,000 people. Since 16% are independet, we can take 16% of 300,000 to get the registered independets. that is, multiply 0.16 (16%) by 300,000:

`0.16\cdot300,000=48,000`

So, the answer is 48,000.
