If 20% of the people in a small town are voters, and there are 2,360 voters, what is the population of the town?

6 0

Hi.

20% is 1/5 of the population. To find out 100% of the population, we can multiply by 5.

2,360 • 5 = 11,800

The population of the town is 11,800.

If you make a proportion then cross multiply its easier to understand
2360/.2=X/1
2360(1)=.2x
x=11800

It would take 6 weeks for Cole to make 750$ and the 65$ he had received from the open mic would make it 815$
