Example Question #81 : Percentages
Four students ran for student body president - Anya, Florida, Moesha, and Winston.
According to the rules, a candidate must win more than 50% of the vote in order to claim an outright victory; otherwise, a runoff must be held between the top two vote-getters. It is known that Florida won 67 votes, Moesha won 91 votes, and Winston won 180 votes. It is also known that there will be a runoff. At the very least, what percent of the vote did Anya win? (Nearest whole percent)
Neither Florida nor Moesha won the most votes, so either Winston or Anya did. If there is going to be a runoff, then regardless of the outcome, the total of the votes won by Winston's opponents must at least equal the votes won by Winston. If we let 
At the very least, Anya must have won 22 votes, which in this scenario would have been equal to:
This makes 6% the best choice.

If you get 25% off, you must take that away from the 100%.
so you will have to pay 75% of the original price.
