Answer:the candidate polled 216000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes(both valid and invalid) is 600000. 10% of the total number of votes were declared invalid. This means that the total number of invalid votes is

10/100× 600000 = 0.1×600000 = 60000 votes. Total number of valid votes = 600000 - 60000 = 540000.

If a candidate got 40% of the valid votes, it means that the total number of votes that the candidate got would be

40/100×540000 = 0.4 × 540000 = 216000 votes

In a chest there are some gold coins. Captain takes half the coins. Sally takes a quarter of the coins. There are 3 coins left.
amid [387]

Answer:

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
