Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many people voted in the elections, we need to calculate 9/10 of the total number of people who were invited to vote.

First, we need to find 9/10 of 80 (the total number of people invited to vote).

To do this, we can use the formula:

9/10 * 80 = (9 * 80) / 10 = 720 / 10 = 72

So, 9/10 of 80 is equal to 72. Thus, 72 people voted in the elections.

Therefore, the correct answer is 72, not 73.
