(a) greatest to least : Fisherman, Goron, Smith, Other

(b) 35% of 280 = 0.35 (280) = 98 ppl would have voted for Goron

(c) 10% of what = 40 ... 0.10x = 40 ... x = 40/0.10 ... x = 400 ... the estimate of people voting is NOT accurate. Because if " other " = 10% ... and "other " = 40, then the total number of voters is 400 giving Goron (0.35 (400) = 140 votes
