    The number of people who voted in this election was 1.24 times the number who voted in the last election

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

    The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

    In this question:

    Up by about 24%, so we want the multiplier for a increase of 24%.

    So

    1 + (24/100) = 1 + 0.24 = 1.24

    The number of people who voted in this election was 1.24 times the number who voted in the last election
