Question

There were n votes cast in an election. Ms. Gordy received 32% of the votes. Which expression represents the number of votes Ms. Gordy received? a)32n b) 32n/100 c) 100n/32​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Lets just imagine that n is 100

a) 32(100) =3200

A is wrong because 3200 is more than the 100 votes cast so Ms. Gordy couldn't have got that. Also 3200 is 32% of 100

c)100(100)/32 =312.5

Again C is wrong because 312.5 is more than the amount of votes cast and isn't 32% of 100

b) 32(100)/100 =32

B is correct because 32% OF 100 IS 32
