Answer 1

Answer:

53 %

Step-by-step explanation:

In a certain city 60% of register voters are party a supporter

Let say Total Voters  = 100V

Party a supporters = (60/100)100V = 60V

Rest are Party b supporters

=> Party b supporters  = 100V = 60V = 40V

75% of the party a supporters & 20% of the registered party b supporters are expected to vote for candidate x

=> Candidate X get Votes =  (75/100)*60V +  (20/100)40V

= 45V + 8V

= 53V

percent of the total voters expected to vote for candidate x  = (53V/100V) * 100  = 53 %

Candidate x is expected to get 53 % Votes,

Answer 2

As the electorate expanded, the political parties evolved to mobilize the growing mass of voters as the means of political control. ... In recent decades, increasing numbers of individual voters classify themselves as “independent,” and they are permitted to register to vote as such in many states.
