Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total number of people is 5600, then to find the number of people that did not vote you subtract 4200 from 5600.

5600-4200=1400

Then you can set up the number of people who didnt vote as equal to a percentage over 100

1400/5600=x/100

140000/5600=x

25=x

Answer: A; 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

For the first problem, we first want to find y so that we can plug it into the expression.

We can use elimination method for the system of equations to solve.

3x+3y=21

3x-y=5

We subtract both equations to eliminate x.

4y=16 [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we know y, we can plug it into the expression.

$\frac{4}{2} -3$ [divide]

$2-3$ [subtract]

$-1$

We know that the answer is A.

Problem 2

For the second problem, we need to know how to calculate percent error. The formula for precent error is $\frac{|measured-exact|}{exact} *100%$ . We know that the exact value is 80 because the buyer was supposed to given 80. 75 is the measured value because that was what the buyer was given.
