Question

When Sally decided to run for class treasurer, she predicted how many votes she would get. After the election, Sally found out she had received 150 votes. She had predicted she would get 20% fewer votes than that. How many votes did Sally predict she would get?

Answer 1

Sally predicted she would get 20% fewer votes than she received in the election. To find out her predicted number of votes, we calculate 20% of the actual number of votes she received.

Sally predicted that she would get 20% fewer votes than the 150 votes she received in the election. To find out how many votes Sally predicted she would get, we can calculate 20% of 150.

To calculate this, we first convert 20% to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So 20% = 20/100 = 0.2.

Then, we multiply 0.2 by 150 to find the 20% of 150. 0.2 * 150 = 30.

Therefore, Sally predicted she would get 30 fewer votes than she actually received. To find out the number of votes Sally predicted she would get, we subtract 30 from 150. 150 - 30 = 120.

Therefore, Sally predicted she would get 120 votes.
