Answer:
C) 4.01
Step-by-step explanation:
When rounding to 2dp, you look at the third digit after the decimal. If it is 5 or larger, you round the second digit up, if it is less than 5, you round it down.
You started out with 260, and increased to 430.
The amount you increased was (430 - 260) = 170
170 is (170/260) = <em>65.4%</em> of what you started with.
============================
Another way:
The new amount is (430/260) of the old amount.
430 / 260 = 1.654 = 165.4%
The original amount was 260.
You started with 100% of it.
You ended up with 165.4% of it.
That's an increase of 65.4% .
Answer:
1. 10%
2. 49.1%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The percent of voters who are other is the number of other divided by the total number of voters.
The number of "other" votes is 222. The number of total votes is 2,222.
The percent is 222/2222 = 0.0999. Times the decimal by 100 for the percent.
0.0999*100 = 9.99% rounds to 10%.
2. The probability is found by finding the number of male and registered as democrat, which is 600, and dividing it by the number of males, which is 1,222.
600/1,222 = 0.4909
Multiply by the decimal by 100 to find the percent.
0.4909*100 = 49.09 which rounds to 49.1%.
