Answer 1

Answer:

9,840

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let total number of people be x

2. 0.48x= 15744

x= 15744/.48= 32,800

3. Hence, total number of people= 32,800

4. Total percentage of people who didn't vote= 100- (48+22)= 30 (Since total percentage is always 100)

5. Hence, 30% of people didn't vote

6. 30% of 32,800= 32,800x 0.30= 9,840

7. Hence, number of people who didn't vote= 9,840

Answer 2

the number of people who did not use their vote =9,840
