Mr.kale received 4000 votes,Mrs. Chalker received 6000 votes,and Mr.rains received 1/3 of the votes. What was the total number of votes casted
2/3x = 10,000
x = 10,000 * 3/2
x =
15,000
Right.
To find the total number of votes casted, we need to add up the votes received by each candidate.
Mr. Kale received 4000 votes.
Mrs. Chalker received 6000 votes.
To find the votes received by Mr. Rains, we need to calculate 1/3 of the total votes.
Total votes obtained by Mr. Rains = (1/3) * (4000 + 6000)
First, add the votes received by Mr. Kale and Mrs. Chalker:
Votes received by Mr. Kale + Votes received by Mrs. Chalker = 4000 + 6000 = 10,000
Next, calculate the votes received by Mr. Rains:
Votes received by Mr. Rains = (1/3) * 10,000
Votes received by Mr. Rains = 10,000 / 3
Now, to determine the total number of votes casted, we need to add up the votes of all three candidates:
Total votes = Votes received by Mr. Kale + Votes received by Mrs. Chalker + Votes received by Mr. Rains
Total votes = 4000 + 6000 + (10,000 / 3)
Therefore, the total number of votes casted is 4000 + 6000 + (10,000 / 3).
