Question

In a recent poll, a random sample of adults in Texas was asked whether they supported a proposed tax increase. The complete results of the poll are shown below.



What percentage of the respondents did not support the tax increase?

Answer 1

53.8% of respondents did not support the tax increase

483 + 807 + 210 = 1500. This means there was a total number of 1500 adults that voted on the tax increase. Because there was 807 voters who said no, 807/1500 of the voters did not support it. 807/1500 = .538 * 100 = 53.8%
