Question

Out of $15,000$ voters in a constituency, $60$% voted. Find the percentage of voters who did not vote. Can you now find how many actually did not vote?

Answer 1

Total number of voters $=15000$

Percentage of votes who votes $=60\%$

Percentage of voters who did not vote $=100-60$

$=40\%$

Number of voters who did not vote $=\frac{40}{100}\times 15000$

$=4\times 1500$

$=6000$

Therefore 6000 (40%) voters did not vote.
