Answer:

Please read answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer all the questions about the election.

1. How many votes does Candidate Smith claim?

Candidate Smith claimed 52% of 5,000

Candidate Smith claimed 0.52 * 5,000 = 2,600

Candidate Smith claimed 2,600 votes

2. What is the total of the vote count you just calculated for Candidate Smith and the 2,681 votes Candidate Adams claims?

Total votes claimed = 2,600 + 2,681

Total votes claimed = 5,281

3. What percentage of the votes does Candidate Adams claim? Do not round your result?

Percentage of the votes claimed by Candidate Adams = 2,681/5,000 = 53.62%

4. What is the total of the percentage of votes that you just calculated for Candidate Adams and the 52% of votes that Candidate Smith claims? Do not round.

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 53.62 + 52

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 105.62%
