    First let's find how much is 15% of 8500 voters.

    To do that, we can multiply 15 by 8500 and then divide by 100.

    Work: 15 x 8500 = 127500

    127500/100 = 1275

    Therefore 15 percent of 8500 is 1275.

    Then, we subtract 1275 from 8500 to find the amount of people who did vote.

    8500 - 1275 = 7,225

    Thus, 7,225 people voted while 1,275 people did not.
