Question

Seventy percent of a town's population voted in an election. if 1,589 people voted, how many people are in the town?

Answer 1

Assume X represent the all people in the town, so

100%=X

if 70%=1,589 =>what about 100% which represent the entire population X

70%=1,589 and 100%=x so X=(100%*1,589)/70 = 2,270

so the town people are =2,270
