\n" ); document.write( "3 out of 4 votes in favor of the bond, so that means 1 out of 4 voted against the bond.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3/4 = 0.75 = 75%
\n" ); document.write( "1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
\n" ); document.write( "x = number of people total\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/4 of x = number who voted against bond
\n" ); document.write( "(1/4)*x = 2250
\n" ); document.write( "0.25*x = 2250
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2250/0.25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 9000 total voters here.
\n" ); document.write( "Use this to find the number of people who voted in favor
\n" ); document.write( "3/4 of 9000 = 0.75*9000 = 6750\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 6750 people voted in favor of the bond
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
