Answer:

11118 people voted

Explanation:

Given


Eligible\ Voters = 21800


Registered\ Voters = 85\%


Voted\ Voters = 60\%

Required

Determine the number of voters

First, we need to determine the number of registered voters.


Number = \%Registered\ Voters * Eligible\ Voters


Number = 85\% * 21800


Number = 18530

Next, we determine the actual voters using


Voters = \%Voters * 18530


Voters = 60\% * 18530


Voters = 11118

Hence, 11118 people voted
