the new speed limit and 480 were opposed. what percentage of the votes were in
favor of the new speed limit?
write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find \(20\%\) of a number, we first convert \(20\%\) to a decimal. \(20\%=\frac{20}{100} = 0.2\)

Step2: Calculate \(20\%\) of \(92.95\)

Multiply the decimal form of the percentage by the number. So, \(0.2\times92.95 = 18.59\)

Step3: Calculate child - tickets (Problem 2)

Again, convert \(20\%\) to \(0.2\). Then multiply by the total number of tickets. \(0.2\times645=129\)

Step4: Calculate total votes (Problem 3)

First, find the total number of votes. Total votes \(=7520 + 480=8000\)

Step5: Calculate percentage of favorable votes

Use the formula \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable votes}}{\text{Total votes}}\times100\%\). \(\frac{7520}{8000}\times 100\%=(7520\div8000)\times100\% = 0.94\times100\%=94\%\)

Answer:

1. \(18.59\)
2. \(129\)
3. \(94\%\)
