Question

In an election 60 % of voters cast their votes. Form an equation and draw the graph for this data. Find the following from the graph. 

i) The total number of voters, if 1200 voters cast their votes, 

ii) The number of votes cast, if the total number of voters are 800. 

Answer 1

Let the total number of votes be = y 

Then the number of voters who cast their votes = x 

By problem x = 60 % of y

x	1200	480
y	2000	800

i) From the graph when x = 1200, then y = 2000 

ii) From the graph when y = 800 then x = 480
