Question
Out of 15,000 voters in a constituency, 60% voted. Find the percentage of voters who did not vote. Can you now find how many actually did not vote?
Solution
Percentage of voters who voted = 60%
Percentage of those who did not vote = 100% − 60%
= 40%
Number of people who did not vote = 40% of 15000
= `40/100 xx 15000`
= 6000
Therefore, 6000 people did not vote.
