If a mayor is elected with 85% of the votes cast and 39% of a town's 26,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

50% Answer Correctly
5,273
8,619
8,416
5,476

Solution

If 39% of the town's 26,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{39}{100} \)) x 26,000 = \( \frac{1,014,000}{100} \) = 10,140

The mayor got 85% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{85}{100} \)) x 10,140 = \( \frac{861,900}{100} \) = 8,619 votes.

The total water usage for a city is 10,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 27% is for personal use and 52% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
2,500
1,400
17,500
7,700

Solution

52% of the water consumption is industrial use and 27% is personal use so (52% - 27%) = 25% more water is used for industrial purposes. 10,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{25}{100} \) x 10,000 gallons = 2,500 gallons.
