Explanation:

Step1: Find voting proportion

The proportion of voters is $\frac{52}{100}$.

Step2: Calculate total voters

Multiply proportion by total registered voters:
$\frac{52}{100} \times 144000$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$0.52 \times 144000 = 74880$

Answer:

74880 people voted in the recent election.
