Answer 2

$\Large{\bf{\green{\mathfrak{\dag{\underline{\underline{Given:-}}}}}}}$

• Out of 26,000 voters in a village 70% voted.

$\Large{\bf{\orange{\mathfrak{\dag{\underline{\underline{To \: Find:-}}}}}}}$

• Percentage of voters who did not vote and also number of voters who did not vote.

$\Large{\bf{\red{\mathfrak{\dag{\underline{\underline{Solution:-}}}}}}}$

• Total number of voters = 26,000

• Percentage of voters voted = 70%

Number of voters voted =

• $\sf 70 \% \: * \: 26,000$

• $\sf \dfrac{70}{100} \: * \: 26,000$

• $\sf \dfrac{70}{1\cancel{00}} \: * \: 260\cancel{00}$

• $\sf \dfrac{70}{1} \: * \: 260$

• 70 * 260

• 18,200 voters

Now,

• Number of voters who did not vote =

• Total number of voters - Number of voters voted

• 26,000 - 18,200

• 7,800 voters

Then,

1st Method:-

Percentage of voters who did not vote =

• $\sf \dfrac{7800}{26000} \: * \: 100$

• $\sf \dfrac{78\cancel{00}}{260\cancel{00}} \: * \: 100$

• $\sf \dfrac{78}{26\cancel{0}} \: * \: 10\cancel{0}$

• $\sf \dfrac{78}{26} \: * \: 10$

• 3 * 10

• 30%

2nd Method:-

• Percentage of voters who have voted = 70%

• Percentage of total number of voters = 100%

• Percentage of voters who did not vote =

• 100% - 70%

• 30%

Therefore,

• $\boxed{\purple{\textsf{Number of voters who did not vote = 7,800.}}}$

• $\boxed{\blue{\textsf{Percentage of voters who did not vote = 30\%.}}}$
