In the last election, candidate A recieved twice as many votes as candidate B. Candidate C recieved 15,000 fewer votes than candidate B. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did candidate A recieve

Respuesta :

Answer:

A=62,000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Candidate A=2B

Candidate C=B –15,000

Total Votes =

A + B +C = 109,000

(2B)+B+(B–15,000)=109,000

3B+B–15,000=109,000

4B=109,000+15,000=124,000

B=124,000÷4=31,000

Therefore,

A=2B

A=2(31,000)

A=62,000

C=B–15,000

C=31,000–15,000

C=16,000

You can add them back to confirm answer:

ie. (62,000 + 31,000 + 16,000 = 109,000 votes total)
