I need help translating this into an inequality. In a local election, 32,400 people voted. This was an increase of 6% over the last election. How many people voted in the last election? Round to the nearest whole person.

106% of 32400 1.06*32400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32400=1.06x means x is about 30566.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1.06*32400

The key to this one is reading the sentence. The 32400 voters is six percent more (106% of) the number of voters in the previous election. That translates as above.
