Solution
Member of voters = 80,000
Total vote polled = 80% of 80,000 = `80/100xx80000` = 64,000
Vote polled to A = 60% of 64,000 = `60/100xx64000` = 38,400
Vote polled to B = Total vote polled – Vote polled to A
= 64,000 – 38,400
= 25,600

Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
A sunscreen with SPF 15 allows only `1/15` of the sun’s UV rays. What per cent of UV rays does the sunscreen abort?
