Answer:
16,800 votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of votes were cast for a singing contest = 42,000
The winner received = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of 42,000
= [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times 42,000[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{126,000}{5}[/tex]
= 25,200
The winner received 25,200 votes.
the number of votes the winner did not receive = total votes - votes that winner received
= 42,000 - 25,200
= 16,800 votes.
The winner did not receive 16,800 votes
