​One in every 9 people in a town vote for party A. All others vote for party B. How many people vote for party B in a town of 810?

---

If 1 out of 9 vote for party A, then 8 out of 9 vote for party B.

To determine how many out of 810 vote for party B, multiply 810 by 8/9.

8/9 x 810
= 720 vote for party B {multiplied}
