n an election, everyone voted for either Cindy or Shawn. Cindy received 55% of the votes. Shawn received 423 votes.

How many total people voted in the election?

Respuesta :

Let x be the amount of people
Since Cindy received 55% of votes,Shawn received(1-55%)=45% of votes
x ×45%=423
x=423÷0.45
=940
So there are total 940 people voted in the election
