In a neighborhood of 846 people, 346 voted in the last election. What percent of the neighborhood did not vote?

Set up the proportion

346/846 = x/100

Then solve for x.

To solve for x do 346*100/846

346*100=34600

34600/856=40.89

Since it isn't specified what to round to, I'm going to round to the nearest whole number. So 40.89 becomes 41

It then asks what percent did not vote, 41% is the amount that did vote, so we can find the percent that did not vote be subtracting 41% from 100%

100%-41% = 59%

59% of the neighborhood did not vote
