<p>sry i thnk we mght have covered this already but was it -.5 how did some people get -1?</p>
<p>a beat b by 28,000 votes…
and yeah im really really sure it’s 50.5</p>
<p>btw, 2.8 million, not 28 million.</p>
<p>Guys can someone correct me if I’m wrong…but wasn’t the two color baseball looking thing 25!!!</p>
<p>I know I have you in a frenzy now but listen to my reasoning.</p>
<p>First you have the 20 right! Then you also have to count AA BB CC DD EE because it asked how many “different designs” correct? It never said you can’t use the same color for Color 1 and Color 2!!!</p>
<p>Yes/No? Give me you two cents!</p>
<p>i got 50.5</p>
<p>2x+28000=2800000
x=1386000 for candidate II
for candidate I, 1386000+28000=1414000
1414000=(.505)2800000</p>
<p>joe blogss is the shizznit.</p>
<p>ugh i feel stupid… that was actually an easy question</p>
<p>Treebounder that’s exactly what I did.</p>
<p>it said different colors, gujugeek</p>
<p>anyway…what’s the answer to the wierd circle incsribed in a square w/ side length 6? i put d which was 9+something pie/something</p>
<p>It never said you can’t use the same color for Color 1 and Color 2!!!</p>
<p>it did say you cant</p>
<p>ok this is how i did it…its prolly wrong…(28,000 +x) +(x) = 2.8 mil…then subtract 28000…2x= 2772000 …divide by two= 1414000 and then plug it into (28,000 +x)= 1414000 then divide by 2.8 mil = 50.5%</p>
<p>oh ****tttttt… i think i put 50.05 on accident, cause i thought it was 50.5… noooooo
was that one of the answer choices?.. if not then im ok</p>
<p>I am preety sure it was 50.5 b/c:</p>
<p>say x= # of votes for teh higher vote getter</p>
<p>x + (x+28000) = 28000000</p>
<p>2x=2828000</p>
<p>x=1414000
1414000/ 2800000 = .505*100 = 50.5%</p>
<p>Correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>My bad jaw I wrote while you were posting.</p>
<p>thykingdom, 2.8 million != 28 million</p>
<p>No! Here’s my version of the answer:
28000000 votes
Candidate one ahead by 28,000…
So 28000000-28000= 27972000
Divide that by two to find out how many each candidate has (13986000)
But Candidate 1 was 28000 ahead, so add that to his score (14014000)
His percentage = 14014000/28000000 = .5005 or 50.05%.</p>
<p>Woot!</p>
<p>-The Obviously Right Coot66</p>
<p>The answer is 50.5% . 51% was a answer choice for us stupid people who get tricked.</p>
<p>2.8 million votes</p>
<p>28,000 swing</p>
<p>1.4 million is in the middle</p>
<p>1428000/2800000</p>
<p>= 51%</p>
<p>All of you that put 50.5 are wrong, I think because if you break it down
2.8 million votes - the median is 1.4 million
So the bigger guy won by 28000, and loser had 28,000 LESS
therefore it is
1.4 million + 28,000 = 1,428,000
Divide that by 2.8 million
you get
0.51
= 51%
HA</p>
<p>^^^^^^</p>
<p>coot66 </p>
<p>thats 28 million</p>
<p>coot it was 2800000 total not 28000000</p>
<p>the question about a line and it asks u which expression gives the lowest number, wasnt it -0.5? how did some people get -1?</p>
<p>Exactly Manu!!</p>
<p>… 1428000/2800000 = .51</p>
<p>Lowest number was -.5 which was v+w… answer B</p>
