Sonia and Layla are both running for class president. The senior class has 220 students. After 60% of the students have voted, Sonia has received 25% of the casted votes, and Layla has received 75%. How
many more votes does Sonia need to receive 50% of the total votes?

33 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to calculate 60% of 220 to Kno.the number of people who voted. This will be:

= 60% × 220

= 0.6 × 220

= 132 students

Sonia has received 25% of the casted votes. The number of votes Sonia got will be:

= 25% × 132

= 0.25 × 132

= 33 votes

Layla has received 75%. Her votes will be:

= 75% × 132

= 0.75 × 132

= 99 votes.

50% of the total votes will be:

= 50% × 132

= 0.5 × 132

= 66 votes

The number of votes needed by Sonia to receive 50% of the total votes will be:

= 66 - 33

= 33 votes

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
