Answer 1

that is a pretty apathetic class. now if you want to to this one, it is mental math. 60% is = to 50% +10% 
50% of 120 is 60 and 10% of 12 
60+12 is 72
the answer is 72 or A 
hope this helps

72 members voted in the last election.

The correct option is (A)

What is percentage?

Percentages are fractions with 100 as the denominator. In other words, it is the relation between part and whole where the value of whole is always taken as 100.

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".

Calculation of Percentage

Calculating percentage means to find the share of a whole, in terms of 100. There are two ways to find a percentage:

• By using the unitary method.
• By changing the denominator of the fraction to 100.
• It should be noted that the second method for calculating percentage is not used in situations where the denominator is not a factor of 100. For such cases we use the unitary method.

Given:

60% of the class members voted.

Total= 120 members

so, 60% of 120

=60/100* 120

= 6*12

=72 members
