Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a recent election, 40% of voters voted for Candidate A. If 1.2 million voters participated, how many voted for Candidate A?
  • Step 1: Understand that 40% means 40 out of every 100 voters.
  • Step 2: Convert 40% into a decimal. 40% as a decimal is 0.4.
  • Step 3: Know that 1.2 million voters participated in the election. This is the total number of voters.
  • Step 4: To find out how many voted for Candidate A, multiply the total number of voters (1.2 million) by the decimal (0.4).
  • Step 5: Calculate 0.4 * 1.2 million. First, convert 1.2 million to a number: 1.2 million = 1,200,000.
  • Step 6: Now multiply: 0.4 * 1,200,000 = 480,000.
  • Step 7: Therefore, 480,000 voters voted for Candidate A.
