Question

9. Four people are running for sheriff. A survey was randomly conducted in the countyand the results were recorded in the graphIf there are approximately 5,000 registered voters, how many more volers would be expected to vote for Ben than for Scott?
A.) 4
B.)210
C.)500
D.)400

Answer 1

Answer:

D.) 400

Step-by-step explanation:

I started by adding all the votes together

4+4+17+21=46

I then rounded 46 up to 50 to make the next step easier

I divided 5000 by 50 and got 100.

With that information, I can now multiply each original vote by 100 to make them more realistic to the number of voters (5000)

4*100=400

4*100=400

17*100=1700

21*100=2100

Now Ben has 2100 votes while Scott has 1700

Subtract 1700 from 2100 and you get 400

So Ben is expected to get approx. 400 more votes than Scott.
