for a singing contest in which 42,000 votes were cast, the winner received 3/5 of the votes. How many votes did the winner not receive?

Sagot :

There are two ways:

1.   (42,000 * 3)/5 =

126000/5 =

25200

2.    42000/5 =

8400*3 =

25200

Now subtract 25200 from original

42000 - 25200 = 16800

16800 votes were not for the winner
