According to the question
At a town hall meeting.
Total member = x
Member present = [tex]\frac{37}{50} x[/tex]
Of those who are present, 1/2 vote in favor of a new park.
i.e [tex]\frac{37}{50} x[/tex] * [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{37}{100} x[/tex]
Now,
The fraction of the members do not vote in favor of the new park
= present at hall meeting - present who favor for new park
= [tex]\frac{37}{50} x - \frac{37}{100} x[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{74-37}{100} x[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{37}{100} x[/tex]
Hence, The fraction of the members do not vote in favor of the new park is [tex]\frac{37}{100} x[/tex] .
