Question

If 20% of the people in a small town are voters and there are 2,360 voters, what is the population of the town?

Answer 1

let the population of town be x. therefore 20 percent of x=2360. so. x=2360*100/20. which is. =2360*5=11800

Answer 2

Let the population of town be "x" 

ATGC 

( 20/100 )x = voters 

20x/100 = 2360 

2x/10 = 2360 

2x = 23600 

x = 23600/2 

x = 11800

Total population = 11800 :)
