If a mayor is elected with 80% of the votes cast and 59% of a town's 42,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
13,381
21,806
13,629
19,824

Solution

If 59% of the town's 42,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{59}{100} \)) x 42,000 = \( \frac{2,478,000}{100} \) = 24,780

The mayor got 80% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{80}{100} \)) x 24,780 = \( \frac{1,982,400}{100} \) = 19,824 votes.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
39
33
31
29

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
