If a mayor is elected with 75% of the votes cast and 77% of a town's 45,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
26,681
19,058
25,988
22,176

Solution

If 77% of the town's 45,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{77}{100} \)) x 45,000 = \( \frac{3,465,000}{100} \) = 34,650

The mayor got 75% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 34,650 = \( \frac{2,598,750}{100} \) = 25,988 votes.

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
1:1
25:2
7:8
3:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.
