Question

ABC city residents vote on construction of a new playground. The number of votes in favor of playground was 3500

Answer 1

Answer:

70% in favor of building a new playground  

3500 (in favor) + 1500 (against it) = 5000 (total number votes)

3500 (in favor)                                              1500 (against it)

-------------------    = 0.7 / 70%                          -------------------     =0.3 / 30%

5000 (total)                                                      5000 (total)
