5. During the election for class president,
40% of the students voted for Jennifer,
and 60% of the students voted for Kevin.
300 students voted in total. How many
more students voted for Kevin than for
Jennifer?​

Answer :

absor201

60 more students voted for Kevin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

total students = 300

Voted for Jennifer = 40%

Voted for Kevin = 60%

We will find number of students for one of them and then will subtract from total to find the others.

So,

Students who voted for Jennifer:

[tex]= 40\%\ of\ 300\\=0.40*300\\=120\ students[/tex]

Students who voted for Kevin

=[tex]=Total\ students-Students\ who\ voted\ for\ Jennifer\\=300-120\\=180\ students[/tex]

In order to calculate that how many more students voted for Kevin :

180-120 = 60

Hence,

60 more students voted for Kevin
