FDP 5th edition, Ch7 Q 11

[aliag916]

Hello, I did the question using the number line method and got the answer 3/5. Can someone pls tell me where I went wrong?

Last year, all registered voters in Kumannia voted either for the Revolutionary Party or for the Status Quo Party. This year, the number of Revolutionary voters increased 10%, while the number of Status Quo voters increased 5%. No other votes were cast.If the number of total voters increased 8%, what fraction of voters voted Revolutionary this year? (ans 11/18)

5%----3------8%----2-----10%
Q <------------------------> R

Thank u!
