we want to in 85% of the total population

percent means parts out of 100 so 85% is 85/100

85% 'of' 15000 means 85/100 times 15000=12750 people who were over 40 and voted

The range of three numbers is 17.the mode is 24 and the median is 24 ? What are the three numbers?

vivado [14]

The answer is 7, 24, 24.

The median is the middle number.

The mode is the number which occurs the most.

The range is the difference between the largest number and the smallest number.

Since 24 is the middle number, it is the median.

Since 24 is also the number which occurs the most often, it is also the mode.

To find range, do 24-7 which is equal to seventeen.

<em>Hope it helps</em>
