In a town there are 1,050 people who can vote. There were two candidates in the election for the town’s mayor. The results of the election are shown in the table.
What percentage of the 1,050 people actually did vote in the election?
Since the total votes were 462+378=840 total votes, we divide that by the number of people in the town to get the percentage of people who voted. So 840/1050=80%
