In the election, candidate B recieved twice as many votes as candidate A. Candidate C recieved 15,000 fewer votes than candidate A. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did candidate B recieve?
2a + a + a - 15000 = 109000 4a - 15000 = 109000 + 15000 4a = 124000 a = 31000 - 31000 × 2 = 62000 = B Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
