Question

A village has a population of $4640$ persons, out of which $25\%$ are voters. In an election, if $15\%$ voters did not vote, how many voters cast their votes?

• A. $2958$
• B. $2784$
• C. $696$
• D. $986$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$986$

Number of voters $=25\%$ of $4640$ $=\frac{25}{100}\times 4640=1160$

Number of voters who did not vote $=15\%$ of $1160=\frac{15}{100}\times 1160=174$

$\therefore$ Number of voters who voted $=1160-174=986$.
