If 596 people voting in the election how many were over 65 years old.
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 .
