Answer:
The total number of eligible voters in the town = 1224 ( app.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the total number of eligible voters = p
Now, the number of votes received by Stan Fitz = 542
The number of votes received by Elizabeth Stuckey = 430
The number of votes received by Gene Sterner = 130
So, the total number of votes received in total = 542 + 430 + 130 = 1,102
Now, only the 90% of total voters p voted in the election.
⇒ 90% of p = 1102
or, p ≈ 1224
Hence, the total number of eligible voters in the town = 1224 ( app.)
