Question
Our class voted for class treasurer. There are 20 students in our class. After voting for class treasurer, Billy received 3 times more votes than Keeton. How many votes did Billy receive? A. 5 votes B. 10 votes C. 15 votes D. 20 votes
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
- Let's assume the number of votes Keeton received is x.
- According to the problem, Billy received 3 times more votes than Keeton. So, Billy received 3x votes.
- The total number of students in the class is 20, which is also the total number of votes. So, x (votes for Keeton) + 3x (votes for Billy) = 20.
- Simplifying the equation, we get 4x = 20.
- Solving for x, we get x = 20/4 = 5. So, Keeton received 5 votes.
- Billy received 3 times more votes than Keeton, so Billy received 3*5 = 15 votes.
So, the answer is C. 15 votes.
