Answer:

The three consecutive integers are 5,6,7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be represented as x,x+1,x+2

As per the requirement, largest integer is 3 less than twice the smallest.

=> x+ 2 = 2x -3

=> 2x -x = 2+3

=> x= 5

So the three integers are 5,6,7

Verification:

Largest integer = 7

Smallest integer = 5

2 * smallest integer - 3 = 2* 5 - 3 = 7

Largest integer is also 7.

So the required condition in the question is satisfied by these three integers.

There are 250 votes tallied in a school election with 3 candidate:A, Candidate B, and Candidate C. If 150 of the votes are for c
Tanya [424]

The answer is 75 and here's why.

Let's figure out the amount of remaining votes to prove this.

250 total votes   -    150 votes for candidate a = 100 votes.

                minus ↑ sign

Candidate B received 25% of the votes, so let's find<u> 25% of 100</u>

<u>100 * 0.25 = 25 votes</u>

Candidate B only got 25 votes (that's kinda sad, poor guy)

<u>100 - 25 votes = the # of votes candidate C got </u>

Candidate C got 75 votes!

5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
