In a 2012 city election,

Question

of the eligible voters voted.
If there were 2,500 eligible voters, approximately Query
people voted. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer 1

To find the approximate number of people who voted in the 2012 city election, you'll need to know what fraction or percentage of the eligible voters voted. Since you haven't provided that information, I'll demonstrate the calculation using a placeholder value, \( x \), which represents the fraction of eligible voters who voted.

Assuming \( x \) is the fraction of voters:

1. Calculate the number of people who voted: \[ \text{Number of voters} = x \times \text{Total eligible voters} \] \[ \text{Number of voters} = x \times 2500 \]

2. Round to the nearest whole number.

Example Calculation:

If, for instance, \( x = 0.4 \) (indicating that 40% of the eligible voters cast their votes):

\[ \text{Number of voters} = 0.4 \times 2500 = 1000 \]

If you provide a specific percentage or fraction of the eligible voters who voted, I can calculate an exact number for you. Please share that information!
