Question

10. In an election 60% votes were casted. If
2000 people did not cast their vote, find:
a) the total number of votes that were to be
cast.
b) the number of votes actually cast.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 5000

b) 3000

Explanation:

a) Let the total number of votes cast be x.

=> (100-60)% of x = 2000

=> 40% of x = 2000

=> 40/100 x = 2000

=> x = 5000

b) Number of votes actually cast = 5000 - 2000 = 3000
