If a mayor is elected with 89% of the votes cast and 76% of a town's 45,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
30,438
30,780
20,862
22,914

Solution

If 76% of the town's 45,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{76}{100} \)) x 45,000 = \( \frac{3,420,000}{100} \) = 34,200

The mayor got 89% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{89}{100} \)) x 34,200 = \( \frac{3,043,800}{100} \) = 30,438 votes.
