oh i know how to multiply. i just wanted to know if my equation was right about the problem.

Yes. Your equation is right.

thank you

You're welcome.

To find out how many people expressed no opinion, you can multiply the percentage (6%) by the total number of people polled (8000).

There are two ways to calculate it:

Method 1:
Step 1: Convert 6% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 6/100 = 0.06.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal representation of the percentage by the total number of people polled: 0.06 x 8000 = 480.

Method 2:
Step 1: Calculate 6% of 8000 by dividing 6 by 100, then multiplying it by 8000: (6/100) * 8000 = 480.

Therefore, 480 people expressed no opinion.
