In the final round of a singing competition, the audience voted for one of the two finalists, Luke or Sean. Luke received 25% more votes than Sean received. Altogether, the two finalists received 5175 votes. How many votes did Luke receive?

Respuesta :

Parrain

Based on the number of votes that the two finalists received, the number of votes that Luke received was 2,875 votes

What number of votes did Luke receive?

Assuming that the number of Sean's votes could be shown as x, the expression for the votes would be:

x + (x + 25%) = 5,175

2.25x = 5,175

x = 5,175 / 2.25

= 2,300 votes

Luke's votes were:

= 2,300 x (1 + 25%)

= 2,875 votes
