Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a bill is passed in the Lok Sabha with a vote of 400 to 145, what percentage of members voted in favor? (2022)
  • Step 1: Add the number of votes in favor and against the bill. In this case, 400 (in favor) + 145 (against) = 545 total votes.
  • Step 2: To find the percentage of members who voted in favor, divide the number of votes in favor (400) by the total number of votes (545). This gives you 400 / 545.
  • Step 3: Multiply the result from Step 2 by 100 to convert it into a percentage. So, (400 / 545) * 100.
  • Step 4: Calculate the result. This will give you approximately 73.39%.
  • Step 5: Round the percentage to the nearest whole number if needed. In this case, approximately 75%.
