Answer:
150 votes were casted
Step-by-step explanation:
So first, we know that Amy received 48 votes. Then Neil received 1/4 as many votes as Amy. So we can divide 48 by 4:
48/4=12
Neil got 12 votes. We also know that Neil and Amy's votes together is only 40% of the votes casted in total. So we can add their votes together and then find a fifth of the votes casted by dividing the 40% in half:
12+48=60
60/2=30
So now 30 votes are 20% of the total votes casted, now we just have to multiply by 5:
30*5=150
150 votes were casted
