The total vote cast was 700.

The winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to make equations to express the number of votes received for each of the candidates.

Solving we have:

Let be "v" the total vote cast,

For Adam,

A=40+0.4*v

For Brigitte,

B=0.5(40+0.4v)-40

B=20+0.2v-40

B=0.2v-20

For Carl,

C=20+0.5*B

C=20+0.5*(0.2v-20)

C=10+0.1v

For Diane,

D=180votes

Now, the total vote cast will be:

v=A+B+C+D\\\\v=(40+0.4v)+(0.2v-20)+(10+0.1v)+180\\\\v=(40-20+10+180)+(0.4v+0.2v+0.1v)

v=210+0.7v\\\\v-0.7v=210\\\\v=\frac{210}{0.3}=700

Now, substituting "v" in each equation to calculate the number of votes for each candidate, we have:

Adam=40+0.4*700=320votes\\Brigitte=0.2*700-20=120votes\\Carl=10+0.1*700=80votes\\Diane=180votes

Hence, we have that the total vote cast was 700, and the winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Have a nice day!

I Need Help On This
disa [49]

Answer:

The first blank: not equal

The 2nd blank: not right triangle (it's acute triangle)

The 3rd blank: equal

The 4th blank: it's right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2 = 3^2 + 3^2

<=> 16 = 9 + 9

<=> 16 = 18 ( nonsense)

so triangle LKJ is not right triangle

5^2 = 4^2 + 3^2

<=> 25 = 16 + 9

<=> 25 = 25 ( make sense)

so triangle ABC is right triangle

Done!! :))
