Answers
Answer:
Total votes in favor of the shopping center= 1200 votes
Total votes against the shopping center= 6000 votes
Total number of votes= 6000+1200 = 7200 votes
To find the percentage of a given value= (value/total value)×100%.
Percentage of people for the shopping center= (1200/7200) x 100
=1/6 x 100
=16.66 %
Percentage of people against the shopping center= (6000/7200) x 100
5/6 x 100
=83.33%
Therefore, percent of the voters in favor of building the shopping center is 16.66%
