Maya and sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. the person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as the winner. sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. no person in the audience was allowed to vote more than once. the equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes maya received:
x − 62,500 = 0.25y
if a total of 125,000 people voted, how many votes did maya receive?

Votes received by Maya = 93750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation which represents the relation between total number of votes cast (y) and number of votes (x) Maya received is

x - 62500 = 0.25y

If the total number of people voted (y) = 125000

Then we have to calculate the votes received by Maya

x - 62500 = 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 31250

x = 93750 votes

Therefore, votes received by Maya are 93750.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
