Question

malias town voted on a new speed limit. 65% of the 100 votes were in favor of the new speed limit. how many votes were in favor?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of votes in favor

To find the number of votes in favor, we use the formula: \( \text{Number of votes in favor}=\text{Percentage in favor}\times\text{Total number of votes} \).
Given that the percentage in favor \( p = 65\%=\frac{65}{100}=0.65 \) and the total number of votes \( N = 100 \).
So, the number of votes in favor \( V=0.65\times100 \).

Answer:

65
