Question

out of 1,50,000 voters , 60% voted . find how many did not vote ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total voters = 1,50,000

Total votes have been voted = x

Percentage of total votes voted = x/1,50,000*100 = 60%

= x = 60*1,50,000/100

x = 90,000

Total votes did not voted = 1,50,000 - 90,000

= 60,000

Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Total voters in a area :- 150000

Percentage of people voted :- 60%

➤ To Find :-

How many people did not vote in the election.…

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find the number of people voted and subtract the total population with the obtained value.

Number of people voted :-

$\tt \longrightarrow60 \bf\% \: \sf \: of \: \: \tt150000$

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{60}{100} \times 150000$

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{60}{ \cancel{100}} \times \cancel{150000} = \boxed { \tt60 \times 1500}$

$\tt \longrightarrow90000$

Now,

Number of people not voted :-

$\tt \longrightarrow150000 - 90000$

$\tt \longrightarrow60000$

$\Huge\therefore$60000 people were not voted in the election.
