Question

A city in the country determines public servants different than usual. The city asks citizens to rank candidates and the person with the highest point total wins. First place votes get 4 points, second place votes get 2 points and third place votes get 1 point. If John Tyler received 867 first place votes, 301 second place votes and 432 third place votes, how many total points did he obtain?

A) 1600
B) 2467
C) 3370
D) 4502

Answer 1

First Place Vote: 4x867= 3468

Second Place Vote: 2x301= 602

Third Place Vote: 1x432= 432

3468+602+432= 4502.

Your answer is therefore D.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 4502

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Points for first place = 4 points

Second place = 2 points

Third place = 1 point

Thus, First Place Vote : 4 × 867 = 3468

Second Place Vote: 2 × 301= 602

Third Place Vote: 1 × 432= 432

Thus, Total Points = 3468 + 602 + 432 = 4502.

Hence, last option is correct.
