Corrine Brown received
how many votes?

Answer 1

Answer:

53,412 and 66,894

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to assume the things

Let us assume

Bill randall be X

So, the Corrine Brown is X + 13,482  as the corrine brown received 13,482 more votes than the Bill Randall

And, the total number of votes is 120,306

Now the equation is

X + X + 13,482 = 120,306

2X + 13,482 = 120,306

2X = 106824

X = 53,412 i.e Bill randall

And, the corrine brown is

= 13,482 + 53,412

= 66,894
