Answer:

5,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to set up a porportion like this one

[tex]\frac{?}{15,000} \frac{65}{100}[/tex]

Next, you cross multiply and divide. 15,000 times 65 is 975,000

Then divide this by 100 which is 9750. This is the number of votes the winning candidate received. Subtract this number from 15,000 to get 5,250. Hope this helps!
