Answer:

2/5 of the citizens who voted , 4/15 of all citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

2/3 citizens voted

In those who votes, 60% voted in favor of a school bond

Therefore,

People who voted in favor of the school bond= 60% of 2/3

                                                                            =60/100*2/3=2/5

Therefore, 2/5 of the citizens who voted had voted in favor of the school bond.

For all citizens,

x% of 1 = 2/5 of 2/3

x/100*1=2/5/100*2/3

x=4/15/100*100

x=4/15
