Respuesta :

As for part A

We need to calculate the percentage equivalent to the estimation, taking 5600 as 100%

[tex]x=7000(100)\frac{1}{5600}=125[/tex]

So, the estimate varied by 25%

Regarding part B

We need to calculate the percentage that corresponds to 5600 voters, considering 6400 as 100%

[tex]x=\frac{5600(100)}{6400}=87.5[/tex]

So, there was a decrease of 100-87.5=12.5%
