Example Question #1 : Grade 6

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

Possible Answers:

$66\tfrac{1}{2}$

125

Correct answer:

$66\tfrac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to create a ratio with the given information. It says that for every votes 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.

$7:4\rightarrow \frac{7}{4}$

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

$A:38\rightarrow\frac{A}{38}$

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

$\frac{7}{4}=\frac{A}{38}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

4(A)=38(7)

Simplify.

4A=266

Divide both sides of the equation by .

$\frac{4A}{4}=\frac{266}{4}$

Solve.

$A=66\tfrac{1}{2}$

$162\tfrac{5}{9}$

Correct answer:

$162\tfrac{5}{9}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to create a ratio with the given information. It says that for every votes 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.

$19:9\rightarrow \frac{19}{9}$

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

$A:77\rightarrow\frac{A}{77}$

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

$\frac{19}{9}=\frac{A}{77}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

9(A)=77(19)

Simplify.

9A=1463

Divide both sides of the equation by .

$\frac{9A}{9}=\frac{1463}{9}$

Solve.

$A=162\tfrac{5}{9}$
