Answer:

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

Constance wants to purchase an school jacket. She saw the same jacket at a few stores. Store A had the jacket for 15% off the or
soldi70 [24.7K]

Store A will be the better buy.

The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of Jacket at store A = $59.60

Discount = 15%

Discount Amount = \frac{15}{100}*59.60\\

Discount Amount = 0.15*59.60=\$8.94

Price after discount = Original price - Discount amount

Price after discount = 59.60 - 8.94 = $50.66

Price of Jacket at store B = $50.99

The price at store A becomes less than store B after discount, therefore, buying from store A is better.

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = \frac{6}{100}*50.66

Sales tax amount = 0.06*50.66=\$3.0396

Price after sales tax = Discount price at store A + Sales tax amount

Price after sales tax = 50.66 + 3.0396 = $53.6996

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Price after sales tax = $53.70

The price will be $53.70 after sales tax at store A.
