120 people voted against building the new basketball court.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 200 by 100 then you know how many people equal 1 percent of the 200. knowing that for every 2 people they are equal to 1 percent. so if you do 100 -40 you get 60. the 100 represents the 100 percent and you subtract 40 because these are the people who are voting for the basketball court. The 60 represents the percent of people who are voting against building the basketball court. then you multiply 60 by 2 and you get 120.
