Question

Reese claims that if 60% of the registered voters cast 273,600 votes, there would be fewer registered voters than above. Is he correct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of registered voters is less then the votes counted.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question it is given that

total numbers of votes counted = v = 273600

percent of voters cast = 60% = 0.60

Let r be the total number of registered voters then

number of counted votes = percent of votes count x total numbers of registered voters

⇒p = 0.60 x r

273600 = 0.60 x r

⇒ r = 456000

thus, total numbers of registered voters is 456000

since, total numbers of voters > the numbers of registered voters

Therefore, the Number of registered voters is less then the appear on voting day.
