We arrived in Canada at a very exciting time, first because it was the eve of Canadian Thanksgiving, second becasue it was a few days before their election day.
The results of the election are the topic of this problem. According to the official results, the Conservative Party won with about 38% of the votes. From another website I learned that there are 23,401,064 registered voters in Canada, and about 59% of them actually voted in this election.
Your job:
- Figure out how many people actually voted for the winning party.
- Find out what percentage of registered voters voted for the winning party.
Hint for #2: take your answer from #1, and the total number of registered voters, make it into a fraction, then turn the fraction into a percent
