Question

For a singing contest in which 42,000 votes were cast the winner received 3/5 of votes. How many votes did the winner not receive?

Answer 1

3/5 of 42000 is 25200 so the amount of people who did not vote is 16800 because the beginning amount of 42000 subtracted from 25200 gives you the final answer If that's confusing the answer is 16800 votes didn't pick the winner
