Answer:

73649 of 80000 (or 91.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Note</u>:  An <u>electorate</u> is a person who is <u>entitled to vote</u> in an election - it does not necessarily mean they <u>have</u> voted in the election.

If 36000 votes represents 45% of the <em>electorate </em>(note: it does not say this figure represents 45% of the <em>votes</em>), then the total number of electorates is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{45}\times 100=80000

If three candidates received 25%, 20% and 6% <u>of the votes</u>, then the winning candidate received:

⇒ 100% - 25% - 20% - 6% = 49% of the votes

If the winning candidate received 36,000 votes, then:

⇒ 49% of the votes = 36,000 votes

Therefore, the total number of votes is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{49}{ \times 100=73469

To find the percentage of electorates that voted:

\implies \sf \dfrac{73469}{80000} \times 100=91.8\% \:\: (1\:d.p.)

Let's see

Total votes be x

  • 45% of x=3600
  • 0.45x=3600
  • x=3600/0.45
  • x=8000

Now total percentage of vote

  • 45+20+25+6=96%

Not voted=4%

Find not voted

  • 0.04(8000)
  • 320

Total voted

  • 8000-320
  • 7680

A school conducts 27 test and 36 weeks assume the school conducts test at a constant rate what is the slope of the line that rep
frosja888 [35]
Slope equals rise over run. Rise is referring to y values and run is referring to X values. so if they say tests are the Y axis then you use 27 as the rise and 36 as the run. once you have the fraction it is simply reducing the fraction.

Let f(x) = 5x + 4 and g(a) = a2 − 4a + 4 2 . Find the function value. g(−2)
natta225 [31]

Answer:  54

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

replace "a" with "-2" in the g-equation

g(a) = a² - 4a + 42

g(-2) = (-2)² - 4(-2) + 42

        =  4       + 8   + 42

        =  54

Find the area of a trapezoid with base 1 side = 10 base 2 side = 16 and 3​
mart [117]

Answer:

Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

For A Trapezoid

The measure of base side 1 = b_1 = 10 unit

The measure of base side 2 = b_2 = 16 unit

The height of the Trapezoid = h = 3 unit

Let  The Area of Trapezoid = A square unit

<u>Now, From Formula</u>

Area of Trapezoid = \dfrac{1}{2} × (sum of opposite base) × height

I.e A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (b_1 + b_2) × h

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (10 unit + 16 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (26 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × 78 unit²

Or, A = \dfrac{78}{2} unit²

I.e A = 39 unit²

So, The Area of Trapezoid = A = 39 unit²

Hence, The Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit² . Answer
