Answer 2

Given:

Total votes at station A out of 1270 = 945

Total votes at station B out of 1050 = 860

Total votes at station C out of 1440 = 1210

To find:

Total turnout including all three polling stations

Solution:

Total votes = 1270 + 1050 + 1440 = 3760

Total casted votes = 945 + 860 + 1210 = 3015

So, the total turnout

= (Total casted votes / total votes ) x 100

= ( 3015 / 3760 ) x 100 = 80 %

Hence , the required answer is 80%.
