Let's break down the given information:
Population of voters = 4000
Percentage of Democrats voting Democratic in the next election = 82%
Percentage of Democrats voting Republican in the next election = 10%
Percentage of Democrats voting for a third party candidate in the next election = 8% (100% - 82% - 10%)
Percentage of Republicans voting Democratic in the next election = 15%
Percentage of Republicans voting for a third party candidate in the next election = 5%
Percentage of Republicans remaining voting for Republicans = 100% - 15% - 5% = 80%
Percentage of third-party voters voting Republican in the next election = 30%
Percentage of third-party voters voting Democratic in the next election = 40%
Percentage of third-party voters remaining voting third-party = 100% - 30% - 40% = 30%
Let's calculate the number of voters in each category for the next election:
Number of Democratic voters = 4000 * 82% = 3280
Number of Republican voters = 4000 * 10% + 4000 * 15% = 400 + 600 = 1000
Number of third-party voters = 4000 * 8% + 4000 * 5% + 4000 * 40% = 320 + 200 + 1600 = 2120
Therefore, the approximate number of voters in each category for the next election will be as follows:
- Democratic voters: 3280
- Republican voters: 1000
- Third-party voters: 2120
In a certain city, the population of voters is 4000 . The pattern of voting remains approximately the same each election, though individuals may change their party. Of those listed a Democrat 82% will vote Democratic in the next election, 10% will vote Republican in the next election and the rest will vote for a third party candidate. Of those voting Republican in the last election 15% will vote Democratic in the next election, 5% will vote for a third party and the rest will remain voting for Republicans. Of those who voted for a third party candidate last time 30% will vote for a Republican next time, 40% will vote Democratic and the rest will again vote for the third party candidate.
