Answer 1

Number of people voted given is wrong.

Question:

If 596 people voted in the election how many were over 65 years old.

The image of the problem is attached below.

Answer:

Number of people voted 65 years old = 149

Solution:

Number of people voted in the election = 596

Let us first write the formula for the part value when percentage is given.

$\text {Part value}=\frac{\text {Percentage}}{100} \times \text {Whole}$

                $=\frac{25}{100}\times596$

                $=149$

Hence, number of people voted 65 years old = 149
