Question

In a city; out of 15000 voters, 60 % voted. Find the number of voters who did not vote?

• A. 8000
• B. 4000
• C. 6000
• D. 9000

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6000

Percentage of number of people voted = 60%

=>Percentage of voters who did not vote = 100 - 60 = 40%

Total Voters = 15000

=>40% of 15000 did not vote = 40% of 15000

= $\frac{40}{100}\times 15000=6000$

Thus, 6000 did not vote.
