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

What is the percent of change from 4,000 to 600?<br> work too plz

xenn [34]

$\frac { n }{ 100 } \cdot 4,000=600\\ \\ 4,000\cdot n=60,000\\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ n=\frac { 60,000 }{ 4,000 }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 60\cdot 1,000 }{ 4\cdot 1,000 } \\ \\ =\frac { 60 }{ 4 } \\ \\ =15$

As 15% of 4,000 is 600, the percentage change was -85%.

So, in order to find the radius from the circumference, you use the formula R = C/(2*Pi). In other words, just divide the circumference by 2 times pi.
