Question

In a school election, Yolanda got 160 more votes than Alex, and Alex got twice as many votes as Jennifer. A total of 440 votes were cast.

Answer 1

Let votes of Jennifer be x

Total votes = x+(x*2)+(x*2+160)

440=x+2x+2x+160

440-160=5x

x=280/5=56

Votes of Jennifer= 56

votes of Alex= 56*2= 112

votes of Yolanda= 112+160= 272
