When the votes were counted, it was found that 15 percent of the people in Brenham had voted. If 2100 has voted, how many people lived in Brenham?
I got this far
15/100 * x = 2100
what do I do from here?
Let P be the total population.....and 15% = .15 .... and "of" means "multiply"....so we have
.15 P = 2100 divide both sides by .15
P = 14000
.15x=2100 divide both sides by .15
x=2100 / .15=14,000 people in Brenham.
+537
