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

Percentage of voters who voted = $60\%$
Percentage of those who did not vote = $100\% - 60\% = 40\%$
Number of people who did not vote = $40\% \;of\; 15000$

= $\frac{40}{100}\times 15000$ 

= $6000$

Therefore, $6000$ people did not vote.
