Question
Three candidates, Yesuto, Tunde and Rono contested for the seat of governor in a certain country. Yesuto got 33180 votes which was 7559 more votes than Rono's votes who had 1950 votes less than Tunde. How many votes did the three candidates get in total?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find out the number of votes each candidate received and then add them together.
-
We know that Yesuto got 33180 votes.
-
We also know that Yesuto got 7559 more votes than Rono. So, to find out the number of votes Rono got, we subtract 7559 from Yesuto's votes: 33180 - 7559 = 25621 votes for Rono.
-
We know that Rono had 1950 votes less than Tunde. So, to find out the number of votes Tunde got, we add 1950 to Rono's votes: 25621 + 1950 = 27571 votes for Tunde.
-
Now, to find out the total number of votes, we add the votes of all three candidates: 33180 (Yesuto's votes) + 25621 (Rono's votes) + 27571 (Tunde's votes) = 86372 votes in total.
