Answer:
94450 for the first candidate
173450 votes in total
Step-by-step explanation:
79000 + 15450= 94450????
First candidate: 94450
Second candidate: 79000
94450 + 79000 = 173450 votes in total
Answer:
are you sure that's how the question reads? If so, then if one candidate received 79,000 and the other received 15,450 more, then the other candidate received 79,000 + 15,450 = 94,450
Step-by-step explanation:
Or is it that one received 15,450 more than the other and the total votes were 79,000? if so, then x + x + 15,450 = 79,000
2x = 79,000 - 15,450
2x = 63,550
x = 63,350 / 2
x = 31,775
so one candidate received 31,775 and the other received 31,775 + 15,450, or 47,225
so 31,775 + 47,225 = the total of 79,000
Hope this helps...
