Answer 1

The difference between votes polled for x and y is 600 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN

Total value = 6000

x Percent = 45%

___________________________

To Find

The difference between votes polled for x and y

___________________________

We know that,

percent = part / whole × 100

45% = part / whole × 100

Part value = 45 × 6000 / 100

Part value = 270000 / 100

Part value = 950,000 / 100

Part value = 2700

x votes = 2700

Votes were polled by x is 2700

___________________________

Now,

Let's find the difference between votes polled for x and y

y = Total - x

y = 100 - 45

y = 55

y = 55%

Votes were polled by y is 55%

y = Total - x

y = 6000 - 2700

y = 3300

y votes = 3300

Votes were polled by y is 55% is 3300

Difference = y - x

Difference = 3300 - 2700

Difference = 600

Difference = 600 votes

The difference between votes polled for x and y is 600 votes

___________________________

Important

If part value and total value is given and we need to find percent

Then,

Percent = part / whole × 100

If percent and total value is given and we need to find part value

Then,

Part value = percent × whole / 100
