Question

Only 55% of the people in your town voted this year. There are 1,500 people in your town. How many people voted?

Answer 1

1 500 people x 0.55 = 825 people

Answer 2

$1500\times0.55=825$

You know this can be logical because since .55 is a little bit more than half, the answer would be a little more than the half of 1500, which is 750.

825 people voted.
