please answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To solve this question we will, first of all, consider the total number of people in a percentage of 100%. Then as 60% of people are given to be one who voted then we can easily calculate the percentage of people who did not vote by subtracting above two.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total number of voters = 15,000.

Also, the percentage of the number voted = 60%.

Then considering the total to be 100%

The percentage of number who did not vote can be obtained by subtracting 100% to 60%.

Therefore the percentage of people who did not vote = 100% - 60% = 40%.

So 40% of the people did not vote.

Finally, we have to calculate the number of people who did not vote. Now 40% of 15000 gives us the total number of the person who did not vote.

40% of 15000 is given by 40100×15000

Cancelling 100 we get,

Number of people who did not vote = 40×150=6000

.

Therefore the total number of people who did not vote is 6000.
