596*25%=149
149 people voted over age 65

Answer:

People voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

\(Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}\)

As shown in the diagram percentage of the people over 65 is 25%.

Percentage = 25 %

Total value = 596

Putting values in the formula

\(25 = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{596}\)

\(Part\ value = \frac{596\times 25}{100}\)

\(Part\ value = \frac{14900}{100}\)

Part value = 149

Therefore the people voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .
