<p>no the correct answer is 50.05, and it was an answer.</p>
<p>hmmm darn i misinterpreted the question</p>
<p>its 50.5</p>
<p>because if you win by 28,000 its not +28,000 but 14,000</p>
<p>darn</p>
<p>what about the wierd pieces of a circle inscribed in a square with side length 6?</p>
<p>was that 9 + somethingpi/or something? that choice was D</p>
<p>I got 50.5</p>
<p>avant garde…where’s your math, because that’s wrong</p>
<p>i saw 50.5, 50.05, and 51. i marked 51 first. but erased it. </p>
<p>now im not sure if i marked 50.05 or 50.5.</p>
<p>eta. i did it how yankee did it. so i think i marked 50.5.</p>
<p>reproduce the problem and i will show you.</p>
<p>I divided 2.8 then added 14k to one side and subtracted 14k to the other and found the percentage of the difference. I did what Jynakees did.</p>
<p>did it say candidate A beat candidate B by 28,000 votes?</p>
<p>how was it daria? can someone explain</p>
<p>wow let me clear this up…</p>
<p>2,800,000 votes cast total, and candidate A had a 28k lead</p>
<p>so it’s 2,800,000/2 = 1,400,000 as base</p>
<p>28k/2 = 14k </p>
<p>1,400,000 + 14k = 1,414,000 for candidate A
1,400,000 - 14k = 1,386,000 for candidate B</p>
<p>1,386,000/1,414,000 = 0.505 = 50.5%</p>
<p>Yes backfire.</p>
<p>Meaning it was def. 51%</p>
<p>what was the actual question… …?</p>
<p>no. its 50.5% darn 2 wrong on math and stupid crap</p>
<p>yes to backfire.</p>
<p>
yes so it’s 1414000 vs 1386000</p>
<p>We fell for the trap backfire! :(</p>
<p>I tohught it said can 1 beat can 2 by 28000</p>
<p>AHHHHHH I see now :(</p>
<p>I thought it was:</p>
<p>Candidate I received x votes. Candidate II received y votes. Candidate I had more votes.</p>
<p>x + y = 28,000,000
y = x - 28,000
therefore
x + x - 28,000 = 28,000,000
x = 14,014,000</p>
<p>14,014,000/28,000,000 = 50.05%</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>thats 14 million votes lol</p>
<p>lol you’re all joe bloggs!</p>
