Answer:

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - 6.3% * 51% =47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + 6.3% * 51% = 54.213%

Solution:

Margin of error: E=6.3%

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - E * 51%

m=51% - 6.3% * 51%

m=51% - 51% * 6.3 / 100

m=51% - 3.213%

m=47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + E * 51%

M=51% + 6.3% * 51%

M=51% + 51% * 6.3 / 100

M=51% + 3.213%

M=54.213%
