Answer 1

Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that:
In a city, there are 15000 voters.
60% of the voters voted.
Total percentage of voters = 100%

Voters who voted in % = 60%

$\Rightarrow$ Percentage of voters who did not vote
= 100 - 60 = 40%

Total Voters = 15000

40% of 15000 did not vote.

Then, the number of voters who did not vote is:

= 40% of 15000

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

$\therefore$ 6000 voters did not vote.
