Hi. I thought I understood this exercise. But when I tried to enter my answer for the total of votes, it isn't allowing me, it displays a message saying I should reconsider my answer, meaning its wrong. But I can't find my error.
For part d, it says that 560 upper class voted for Blue, and the table says that's 0.16 of the total upper class.
So I calculated 16 % x = 560, to get the total of the upper class.
16 % x =560
0.16 x = 560
x = 560/0.16
x= 3500
Then,
I calculated the total of votes, knowing the total votes of the upper class represents 25% of the total votes.
25 % x= 3500, and I got my total votes, a five-digit number, but it doesn't allow me to enter it. (maximun allow 4 digit number)
25 % x= 3500
0.25 x= 3500
x= 3500/0.25
x= 14000
Where is my mistake? Thank you.
