In a recent student government election, the ratio of students who voted for the winner to all the students who voted was 0.65. The number of students who voted was 80. How many votes did the winner get?

Sagot :

nromally ratios are in 1:3 format
so I'm guessing that ratio fo winner:total=0.65:1

perople who voted for the winner was 0.65 of all the voters
so find 0.65 of 80
'of' can be translated to as mutliply
0.65 times 80=52

52 voters voted for the winnner
