Example Question #1 : Understand The Concept Of A Ratio: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Rp.A.1

If candidate A receives vote for every votes that candidate B receives. At the end of the election candidate B has 320 votes. How many votes did candidate A get?

Possible Answers:

960

$106\tfrac{2}{3}$

320

Correct answer:

$106\tfrac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to create a ratio with the given information. It says that for every vote cast for candidate A, candidate B got votes. We can write the following ratio.

$A:B\rightarrow\frac{A}{B}$

Now substitute in the given numbers.

$1:3\rightarrow \frac{1}{3}$

We know that candidate B received 320 votes. Write a new ratio.

$A:320\rightarrow\frac{A}{320}$

Now, use the original relationship to create a proportion and solve for the number of votes that candidate A received.

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{A}{320}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

3(A)=320(1)

Simplify.

3A=320

Divide both sides of the equation by .

$\frac{3A}{3}=\frac{320}{3}$

Solve.

$A=106\tfrac{2}{3}$
