If the person did not vote it can be:
30/100 (30%) people in the city are conservatives, and only 65/100 voted - so 45/100 did not voted.

Liberals are 50% of the city population (1/2), and 82/100 of them voted, so 100/100-82/100=8/100 did not voted!

So let’s make 2 probability events:
1) A person did not voted
2) a person is liberal

Probability that the person is a liberal: 1/2
Person didn’t voted and it’s a liberal:
1/2*8/100= 8/200=4/100 [*]

[*] To count the probability of two probability events you need to multiply them.

24h + 18f = 88.50
28h + 9f = 88.25.....multiply by -2
---------------------
24h + 18f = 88.50
-56h - 18f = - 176.50 (result of multiplying by -2)
--------------------add
-32h = - 88
h = -88/-32
h = 2.75 <===

The sin ratio is the side opposite the reference angle over the hypotenuse.  If Z is our reference angle, then the side opposite it has a length of 32.  The hypotenuse has a length of 40.  Therefore, the sin of Z = 32/40.  We will reduce that to sin Z = 4/5.  First choice above.
