To calculate how many votes Mrs. Jones had received, you would begin by converting 70% into a decimal, and then multiplying that decimal by the total number of votes.

Remember, all percentages are out of 100. So, 70/100 can be simplified into 7/10. As a decimal, 7/10 would be 0.7.

Next, we multiply 0.7 by the total number of votes, which is 1,500.

0.7 · 1500 = 1050

Therefore, in this election, Mrs. Jones received 1,050 votes out of the total 1,500 votes casted.

Casper has some whipping cream that is 18%, percent butterfat, and some milk that is %4, percent butterfat. He wants to make a 5

L represent Option A. The correct answer is that the mixture has the intended volume and has more than the intended percent of butterfat.

<h3>What is the graph about?</h3>

Note that:

The graph shows that the point L is one that is below the blue line of the graph.

Therefore, x + y = 500

Also one need to see that:

0.18x + 0.04y = 500(0.12)

Since that cream is 18% butterfat, milk is 4% butterfat, so L is composed of of 350 ml of cream and 100 ml of milk.

Hence the total amount of butterfat for L is:

0.18 x 350 + 0.04 x 100

= 67ml.

Next, one has to calculate 12% of the volume of L :

12% of 450:

0.12 x 450 = 54ml

So, because 67 is bigger than 54, this implies that the volume of butter fat in L is more than 12 %.
