in a student council election Martha and Hillary received a total of 1600 votes, Martha received 81 more votes than Hillary, how many votes did Martha receive

Respuesta :

03-11-2017

total of votes: 1600-> this means votes for Martha plus the votes for Hillary

If we divide 1600 by 2 people, this leaves 800 votes for each girl.

800-81=719 for Hillary
800+81=881 for Martha

We take 81 votes, from those 800,and place them in martha's votes

Just to confirm: 881+719=1600 total votes
