8% of the people eligible to vote are between 18 and 21 years of age . In an election, 85% of those eligible to vote, who were between 18 and 21 , actually voted. In that election, the number f persons between 18 and 21, who actually voted , was what percent of those eligible to vote ?
Let the number of persons eligible to vote be `x`. Then,
Number of eligible persons between 18 and 21 = 8% of `x`
Number of persons between 18 and 21, who voted = 85% of (8% of `x`)
= `(85/100 xx 8/100 xx x) = (68)/(1000) x`
`:.` Required percentage = `((68 x)/(1000) xx 1/x xx 100)`% = 6.8%.
