9. Northern Maywood voted 60% to 40% in favor of a water project. Southern Maywood voted 90% to 10% against the project. The project passed 55% to
45%. If 5900 people voted, how many were from Southern Maywood?

If y people voted in Southern May Wood, then (5900 - y) people

voted in Northern May Wood. So, considering the 'yes' votes we

have: 55% x 5900 = (10% x y) + (60% x [5900-y]) 3068 = 0.1y + 3540

0.6y 0.5y = 472 y = 944
