One way to do this is use the fact that the exterior angles of all polygons add up to 360 degrees
So an exterior angle of a regular octagon = 360 / 8 = 45 degrees.
So each interior angle = 180 - 45 = 135 degrees
so total measure of all angles in octagon = 8 * 135 = 1080 degrees
So, do get the answer, you have to find out who got more of the votes, either Carl Green or Maria Lewis. Once you have found out who has more votes, you take the bigger number and subtract the smaller number from it. If you get a negative number, or a number below 0, you have unfortunately have the wrong answer for the problem
N-1(-1/2) is the formula because the sequence is taking half of the previous number and changing its sign
