Question

The Senior class held an election for class president. Pamela received three (3) votes for every two (2) votes Angela received. Pamela received 69 votes. How many votes did Angela receive? State the answer and write a proportion that could be used to solve the problem

Answer 1

46

Explanation:

Divide 69 by 3

69 / 3 = 23

Take it times two.

23 x 2 = 46

Proportion

`(3)/(2) =(69)/(x)`

Cross multiply and solve for x.
