Question

There were 13426 eligible votes for a certain election.One day,8206 people cast their votes.What was the percent of voter turn out

Answer 1

Greetings!

A way to do this is to divide the actual amount by the predicted amount:

8206 ÷ 13,426 = 0.6112

To change this back into a percentage simply multiply by 100:

0.6112 x 100 = 61.1

So the percent of voter turn out was 61.1%

Hope this helps!
