Question

out of 2500 voters in constituency 72 % voted find the percentage of voters who did not vote can you find how many actually did not vote​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

Total voters = 15,000

Percentage of voted candidates = 60%

Percentage of not voted candidates = 100 – 60 = 40%

Actual candidates, who did not vote = 40% of 15000

=\ \frac{40}{100}\times15000=6000

Hence, 6,000 candidates did not vote.

Answer 2

Given:

Total number of voters=2,500

Percentage of voters who voted=72%

To find:

i. The percentage of voters who did not vote

ii. The number of voters who did not vote

Solution:

The percentage of voters who did not vote is 28% and the number of voters who did not vote is 700.

We can find the solution by following the given steps-

We know that the total percentage of voters who voted and did not vote is 100%.

So, the percentage of voters who voted+the percentage of voters who did not vote=100%

i. We know that 72% of the voters voted.

Let the percentage of voters who did not vote be X.

Using the above equation and putting the values, we get

72%+ X=100%

X=100-72

X=28%

So, 28% of voters did not vote.

ii. The total number of voters in the constituency=2,500

Now, the number of voters who did not vote=28% of the total voters

On putting the values, we get

The number of voters who did not vote=28/100×2500

=28×25

=700

So, 700 voters did not vote.

Therefore, the percentage of voters who did not vote is 28% and the number of voters who did not vote is 700.
