Answer 1

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people polled to vote be 1000

80% said they would vote for him

That is 800

20% said they would not vote for him

That is 200

Out of the 800, 70% actually voted

That will be ;

70/100 * 80 = 560

Also, 20% of the 200 that said they would not vote actually voted

That will be ;

20/100 * 200 = 40

Total is thus;

569 + 40 = 600

% is 600/1000 = 60%
