v = 9π
If a mayor is elected with 86% of the votes cast and 68% of a town's 29,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?
If 68% of the town's 29,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:
(\( \frac{68}{100} \)) x 29,000 = \( \frac{1,972,000}{100} \) = 19,720
The mayor got 86% of the votes cast which is:
(\( \frac{86}{100} \)) x 19,720 = \( \frac{1,695,920}{100} \) = 16,959 votes.

Ezra loaned Monica $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,100 + $77Which of the following statemements about chucks is not true?
