A newspaper article reports the results of an election between two candidates. The article says that Smith received 60% of the v

4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, smith receives 60% of the vote this means murphy must receive 40% of the vote. Therefore 15 = 40% of the total vote.

Thus total vote = 37.5, which is kind of absurd. As total vote count must be an integer. Moreover, the report must be consistent with the result, which does not seem in this case.

this function has only one possible value for y : 1

so, only A applies.
