Answer:
2067 voters
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.
This means 3/5 votes support a candidate
Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x
If 1,240 voters support the candidate,
how many voters participated in the election in all?
Hence,
3/5 of x = 1240 voters.
3/5 × x = 1240
3x /5 = 1240
Cross Multiply
3x = 1240 × 5
x = 1240 × 5/3
x = 2066.6666667 voters
Approximately to the nearest whole number:
2067 voters
