During one election in centerville, 5 of every 8 people who voted favored a new park. centerville has 18,000 eligible voters. in this election 3 of every 5 eligible voters actually voted. how many people voted for the new pool

3 of every 5 people actually votedthat means 2 of every 5 didn't vote...so 3/5 of the total voters voted and 2/5 of the entire voters didn't vote.

so if there is 18000 votersthen 3/5(18000) = 54000/5 = 10,800 people actually voted

now...the ones who favored a new park (pool ) ?
5 of every 8 favored a new pooland 3 of every 8 didn'tso 5/8 of the total voters favored a new pool...

5/8(10,800) = 54,000/8 = 6750 people voted for the new pool <==
