Question

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?

Answer 1

Hey Kid

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.
