Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Registered voters at Centre B = 5400
Percentage of people who voted at Centre B = 70%
Registered voters at Centre C = 6500
Percentage of people who voted at Centre C = 85%
Formula used:
People who did not vote = Total registered voters - People who voted
Percentage more = ((Difference in people who did not vote) / People who did not vote at Centre C) × 100
Calculation:
People who voted at Centre B = 5400 × 70% = 3780
People who did not vote at Centre B = 5400 - 3780
⇒ People who did not vote at Centre B = 1620
People who voted at Centre C = 6500 × 85% = 5525
People who did not vote at Centre C = 6500 - 5525
⇒ People who did not vote at Centre C = 975
Difference in people who did not vote = 1620 - 975 = 645
Percentage more = (645 / 975) × 100
⇒ Percentage more = 66 2/13 %.
∴ The number of people who did not vote at Centre B is 66 2/13 more than those who did not vote at Centre C.
