in the last election, candidate b recieved twice as many votes as canadidate a. canadidate c recieved 15,000 fewer votes than candidate a. if the total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did cadidate b recieved
B = 2A
C = A - 15000
N = 109000
A + B + C = 109000
A + 2A + A - 15000 = 109000
A = 23500
B = 23500 X 2
B = 47000
C = 8500
Answer:
B = 2A
C = A - 15000
N = 109000
A + B + C = 109000
A + 2A + A - 15000 = 109000
A = 23500
B = 23500 X 2
B = 47000
C = 8500
