Out of 15,000 voters in a constituency, 60% voted. Find the percentage of voters who did not vote. Can you now find how many actually did not vote?

Solution:

The total percentage of voters is equal to 100%.

The percentage of voters who voted is given to be 60%.

So, the percentage of voters who did not vote will be

100% - 60% = 40%

The number of voters who did not vote = 40% of 15,000

= 40/100 ×15,000

= 6,000
