Answer:

137 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election

dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates

= 681 / 5 = 136.2  hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method  would be = 137 votes

136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )

136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680

hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1

least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes

Four friends go out to eat and their meal costs $86.50. The sales tax is 6.75% and they tip the waiter 20%. How much should each
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$27.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Meal Cost = $86.50

Sales Tax= 6.75% of the Meal Cost

= 6.75% X 86.50

= 0.0675 X 86.50

=$5.84

They tipped the Waiter 20%

20% of 86.50

=0.2 X 86.50

=$17.30

Total Bill= Meal Cost + Sales Tax + Tip

= 86.50 +5.84 + 17.30

=$109.64

Since the friends are four, each one will be expected to pay:

$109.64/4

=$27.41

Each of the friends should pay $27.41 to the nearest cent.
