ratio of residents is 5:1 (montague : capulet).
In montague, 20% vote for Juliette. In capulet, 70% vote for Juliette.
Since population ratio is 5:1, there are five voters in montague for every voter in capulet.
20% of 5 is 1, which represents the Juliette voters in Montague
70% of 1 is .7, which represents the Juliette voters in Capulet
Now we need to find out what percentage that .7 is of the total... so we take \(\frac{.7}{(1 + .7)}\)
\(= \frac{7}{17}\)
I'm not a big fan of long division, but we need to get this number into percentage form.
\(\frac{(7*6)}{(17*6)} = \frac{42}{102}\) which is pretty darn close to 41, so the answer is B
