Question

During an election، 70% of the population voted. If 70,000 people cast their votes, what is the population of the town?​

Answer 1

Answer:

100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

70,000 people = 70% of the population.

Divide 70,000 by 70 to get the number of population per 1%:

70000 ÷ 70 = 1000

Therefore, 1000 people represent 1% of the population.

To calculate 100% of the population, multiply the number of people representing 1% by 100:

1000 x 100 = 100,000

Therefore, the population of the town = 100,000
