Question

Reasoning 1f 57% of the registered voters cast 273,600 votes in an election, how many registered

Answer 1

Answer:

You can set up a proportion to solve for the total number of registered voters for both questions.

$\frac{273600}{x} =\frac{57}{100}$

27360000=57x

(57 percent) x= 480000

$\frac{273600}{x} =\frac{60}{100}$

27360000=60x

(60 percent) x= 456000

The total number of registered voters is greater when the percentage registered is lower when accounting for the same number of casted registered votes.
