an exit poll showed 6 out of every 7 voters cast a ballot in favor of an amendment to a city charter. at this rate, how many people voted in favor of the amendment if 49,000 people voted?
24,000 divided by 8 = 3,000 3,000 multiplied by 7 = 21,000 So if 7 out of every 8 voted in favor, then 21,000 out of 24,000 voted in favor. Hope this helps. ~Nayiah~
