Question

In the recent election for mayor, there were three candidates, Smith, Williams, and

Krzyzewski. The ratio of Krzyzewski voters to Smith voters is the same as the ratio
of Smith voters to Williams voters. If there are 800 Krzyzewski voters and 200
Williams voters in my town, how many people voted in my town (assuming these
were the only 3 choices)?

Answer 1

1,400 people voted.

Explanation:

`(K)/(S) =(S)/(W)\\(800)/(S) =(S)/(200)\\S^(2) =800*200=160000\\S=400`

K+S+W=800+400+200=1400
