Question

during a class election the ratio of students who voted for candidate A compared to candidate B was 10:7. If candidate A received 50 votes, what is the combined amount of votes candidate A and candidate B received?

Answer 1

To solve this, you have to divide 50 by 10, which is from the original ratio. You should come up with 5, so then you multiply 5 times 7 to equal the 50 votes for candidate A, which would be 35.  Add 50 to 35, and your answer is 85! :D please brainly!
