Answer 2

Question:-

Out of 15,000 voters in a constituency, 60% voted. Find the percentage of voters who did not vote. Can you now find how many actually did

not vote?

Solutions:

Percentage of voters who voted = 60%

Percentage of those who did not vote = 100% − 60% = 40%

Number of people who did not vote = 40% of 15000

= (40/100) × 15000 = 6000

Therefore, 6000 people did not vote.
