of the votes cast on a certain proposal , 68 more were in favor of the proposal than were against it . if the number of votes against the proposal was 40 percent of the total vote , what was the total number of votes cast ? ( each vote cast was either in favor of the proposal or against it . )
"let x be the total number of votes cast . 0.6 x = 0.4 x + 68 0.2 x = 68 x = 340 the answer is b ."
divide(68, subtract(subtract(const_1, divide(40, const_100)), divide(40, const_100)))
