Question

In an election, a good candidate may lose because 40% of the voters do not cast their votes
Form an equation and draw the graph with data. From the graph find,
a) The total number of voters, if 720 voters cast their votes
b) The number of votes cast, if the total number of voters are 1000.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

b) Since 40 percent of people didn’t vote, you would move the decimal places 2 times to the right, which gives you 0.4

After this, you would multiply 1000 with 0.4 to get the amount of people that didn’t vote. 1000 x 0.4 is 400. Subtract 400 (voters that didn’t cast) from 1000  (amount of voters) to get the amount of votes. 1000-400=600.

the answer is 600 for B

edit: sorry I’m not doing question a, i went brain dead for a second.
