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
