In an election out of 1500000 eligible voters only 1000000 cast their vote. Find the percentage of people who cast their votes. ​

Answer 1

Answer

Number of eligible Voters ⇒ 1500000

Number of Votes Casted ⇒ 1000000

Percentage of People who casted their votes

⇒ $\sf \dfrac{Number\ of \ Votes\ Casted }{Number \ of \ Eligible\ Voter }\times 100$

⇒ $\dfrac{1000000}{1500000} \times 100$

⇒ $\dfrac{2}{3}\times 100$

⇒ $\dfrac{200}{3}$

⇒ $66.\overline{66} \%$

∴ 66.66...% people casted their vote in the election.
