Question

In an election, Candidate A received 75 votes and candidate B received 25 votes, after the first 100 votes were counted. Assume this ratio is maintained. If Candidate B received 750 votes, how many votes did Candidate A receive?​

Answer 1

Candidate receives 2250 votes

Explanation:

Ratio of votes A : B = 75 : 25 = 3 : 1

3 : 1 = x : 750

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 *x = 3*750

x = 3 *750

= 2250
