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

Given,
Total number of voters = 15,000
Percentage of voters who voted = $60\%$

Now,
Percentage of those who did not vote =$100\%-60\%=40\%$
Number of people who did not vote = $40\%of15,000$
$=\frac{40}{100}\times 15,000=6,000$
Therefore, 6,000 people did not vote.
