Our class voted for class treasurer. There are 20 students in our class. After voting for class treasurer, Billy received 3 times more votes than Keeton. How many votes did Billy receive?
a. 5 votes
b. 10 votes
c. 15 votes
d. 20 votes

Respuesta :

Let Keeton receive    x    votes.

Billy received 3 times more =  3*x = 3x

If all the 20 students voted, the total votes would be equal to x.

3x + x = 20

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 5

Since Billy received 3x =  3*5 = 15
