Question

In an election, Candidate A received 75 votes and candidate B received 25 votes, after the first 100 votes were counted. Assume this ratio is maintained. If Candidate B received 750 votes, how many votes did Candidate A receive

Answer 1

2250 votes

Explanation:

Given,

Candidate A : Candidate B

75 : 25

ratio: 3 : 1

If, candidate B = 750 votes

1 --> 750 votes

3 --> 750 * 3 = 2250 votes

Candidate A receives 2250 votes.
