Question

Candidate C received 15,000 fewer votes than candidate B. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did candidate B receive?

Answer 1

Answer: Candidate B has 69,500 votes!

Step-by-step explanation:

one easy way to solve this is by dividing 109,000 in half and that gives us

54500 and 54500 but since Candidate C has 15000 less

we subtract 15000 from candidate c and add 15000 from candidate b

which gives us

Candidate C= 39,500 votes

Candidate B= 69,500 votes
