2

If a mayor is elected with 83% of the votes cast and 70% of a town's 22,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
12,782
10,780
13,090
10,626

Solution

If 70% of the town's 22,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{70}{100} \)) x 22,000 = \( \frac{1,540,000}{100} \) = 15,400

The mayor got 83% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{83}{100} \)) x 15,400 = \( \frac{1,278,200}{100} \) = 12,782 votes.

\( \frac{-1}{-3b^{3}} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^3} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
