If the percentage, when rounded to the nearest tenth, is 14.2%, then the actual percentage, p, is such that 14.15 ≤ p ≤ 14.249. We can use this percentage range to yield a range for the number of voters who expressed a preference for an independent candidate. The lower bound will be 14.15% of 80,000 = 11,320. The upper bound will be 14.249% of 80,000 = 11,399.2. Any value that falls between these two endpoints will be an answer. Among the choices, the values that fall in this range are B, C, and D.
