Sum of series of G.P. = Sn = a(1-rⁿ) / 1-r
Here, a = 5
r = 1/5

Substitute their values into the expression:
Sn = 5(1-1/5⁵) / 1 - 1/5
Sn = 5*5/4 [1-1/3125]
Sn = 25/4 [ 3124/3125]
Sn = 781 / 125

In short, Your Answer would be 781/125 in fraction form 
or 6.248 in decimal form

Hope this helps!

From part (b)

If number who voted = 280

To check if estimate from. Part b is accurate :

10% voted for others

10% of estimated voters = 40

Let, number of estimated voters = x

0.1 * x = 40

0.1x = 40

x = 40/0.1

x = 400

If 40 people Voted others, the the number of voters should be 400 and not 280
