Example Question #21 : How To Work With Percentages
Refer to the above diagram. If there were 15,934 voters who were affiliated with a political party in Smith County in 2009, how many voters (nearest whole number) were there total?
40% of the voters were registered as independents, so 60% were registered as a member of a political party. Since 60% of the voters numbered 15,934, we can find the total number of voters by setting up and solving a proportion:
which rounds to 26,557 voters.
Example Question #22 : How To Work With Percentages
Refer to the above graph. If there were 17,856 registered voters in Smith County in 2009, how many voters were registered as neither Republicans nor Democrats (nearest whole number)?
2% of the voters were registered as members of other parties, and 40% were unaffiliated, so we want to calculate 42% of 17,856, or, equivalently,
which, to the nearest whole number, rounds to 7,500 voters.
