Question

A survey of 2,00 registered voters is used to predict by how many percentage points a candidate is leading. Of the 2,00 people, 1,240 planned to vote for Candidate A. By how many percentage points is Candidate A leading.
This might help cross divide and multiply.

Answer 1

Is this supposed to be 2,000 voters? if so, you can assume that
candidate a: 1,240 voters
1,240/2,000=62%
candidate b: 2,000-1,240= 760 voters
760/2,000=38%

62%-38%= 24%

candidate A is leading by 24%
