Given,
Total number of votes casted = 42,000
The winner received 3/5 of the votes.
To find,
How many votes did the winner not receive.
Solution,
Votes received by the winner is :
Votes didn't received by the winner = Total votes - votes received
= 42,000 -25200
= 16800
Hence, 16800 votes is not received by the winner.
You can think in reverse. Addition is the opposite of subtraction. So to solve 15-8, you can ask "8 plus what number is equal to 15?" and note how 8+7 = 15. So that's why 15-8 = 7. Similarly, 15-7 = 8 can be solved the same way.
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the probability, you first have to add up the total number of marbles in the bag.
3+4+9+5=21
Next you find the probability of getting a yellow:
9/21
Then you find the probability of getting a green:
5/21
And since the problem says "yellow <em>or</em> green" we will add the two together
9/21 + 5/21 = 14/21 = 2/3
I would go with D. Hope that helps :)
