Question

In a recent student government election the ratio of students who voted for the winner to all the students who was 0.70 to the number of students who wrote it was 75 how many votes did the winner get?

Answer 1

The winner received 53 of the 75 votes in the student gov. election according to provided ratio.

What is ratio?

In arithmetic, a magnitude relation shows range times one number contains another.

Main body:

Because the ratio of students who voted for the winner compared to all students who voted is 0.70

we can rewrite this as:

0.70 = 70/100

And, because we know the total number of students who voted is 75 and if we call the number of students who voted for the winner s , we can then write this relationship and solve for s :

$\frac{70}{100} = \frac{s}{75}$

Multiplying both sides by 75.

75*$\frac{70}{100} = \frac{s}{75}$*75

s= 75*70/100

s = 5250/100

s = 52.5

s ≈ 53.

Hence ,The winner received 53 of the 75 votes.
