In a local election, one candidate received 43% of the votes. Only 87 people voted in the election. Which proportion could be used to find how many votes the candidate received?

43% of 87 is the proportion that can be used to find the number of votes the candidate received

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of voters in the election = 87 and

One candidate received 43% of the votes

Number of votes received by the candidate is 43% of 87

That’s

43% /100% x 87

0.43 x 87

37.41

37

The candidate received 37 votes which is 43% of the total number of votes

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation
