Given situation:
Mr. jones received 70% of the 1500 vote casts in an election
Question and solution
=> How many votes did Mr Jones received:
=> 1 500 is the total number of voters and 70% of it voted Mr. Jones.
SO let’s start solving to get the number of voters who voted him.
=> 70% = 70 / 100 = .70
=> 1 500 * .70
=> 1 050 , the number of voters who voted him in an election.
