Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a national election, if 65% of the votes are in favor of a candidate and there are 1,000,000 votes cast, how many votes did the candidate receive?
  • Step 1: Understand that 65% means 65 out of every 100 votes.
  • Step 2: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing 65 by 100, which gives you 0.65.
  • Step 3: Multiply the total number of votes (1,000,000) by the decimal (0.65) to find the number of votes for the candidate.
  • Step 4: Calculate 1,000,000 * 0.65, which equals 650,000.
