Question 42

15% of the people eligible to vote are between 18 and 25 years of age. In an election, 75% of those eligible to vote, who are between 18 and 25, actually voted. In that election, the number of persons between 18 and 25, who actually voted was what percent of those eligible to vote?

Solution

Let eligible voters = 100x

Eligible voters between 18 and 25 years of age = 15% of 100x = 15x

Eligible voters between 18 and 25 years of age who actually voted = 75% of 15x = 11.25x

Required percent = $$\frac{11.25x}{100x} * 100 = 11.25$$%
