Answer : The number of people voted against building the new basketball court are, 120 people.
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that there are 200 people who voted at the town council meeting and 40% voted for building a new basketball court in the park.
That means,
The percentage of people who voted for building a new basketball court in the park = 40 %
The percentage of people who against voted for building a new basketball court in the park = 100 - 40 % = 60 %
Now we have to determine the number of people voted against building the new basketball court.
Number of people voted against building the new basketball court = \(200\times 60\%\)
Number of people voted against building the new basketball court = \(200\times \frac{60}{100}=120\)
Thus, the number of people voted against building the new basketball court are, 120 people.
