1/3 of 12,000 ballots were thrown out.

1/3 * 12,000 = 12,000/3 = 4,000

4,000 ballots were thrown out.

12,000 - 4,000 = 8,000

There were 8,000 ballots left.

1/4 of 8,000 ballots are for candidate A.

1/4 * 8,000 = 8,000/4 = 2,000

Candidate A received 2,000 votes.

8,000 - 2,000 = 6,000

Candidate B received 6,000 votes.
