Three candidates, Bitok, Aluna and Rono contested for the seat of governor in a certain country. Bitok got 64607 votes which was 8373 more votes than Rono's votes who had 1179 votes less than Aluna. How many votes did the three candidates get in total?

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many votes each candidate received and then add them together.

1. We know that Bitok got 64607 votes.

2. We also know that Bitok got 8373 more votes than Rono. So, to find out how many votes Rono got, we subtract 8373 from Bitok's votes: 64607 - 8373 = 56234 votes for Rono.

3. We know that Rono had 1179 votes less than Aluna. So, to find out how many votes Aluna got, we add 1179 to Rono's votes: 56234 + 1179 = 57413 votes for Aluna.

4. Now, to find out the total number of votes, we add the votes of all three candidates: 64607 (Bitok) + 56234 (Rono) + 57413 (Aluna) = 178254 votes in total.

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many votes each candidate received and then add them together.

1. We know that Bitok got 64607 votes.

2. We also know that Bitok got 8373 more votes than Rono. So, to find out how many votes Rono got, we subtract 8373 from Bitok's votes: 64607 - 8373 = 56234 votes.

3. We know that Rono had 1179 votes less than Aluna. So, to find out how many votes Aluna got, we add 1179 to Rono's votes: 56234 + 1179 = 57413 votes.

4. Now, to find out the total number of votes, we add the votes of all three candidates: 64607 (Bitok's votes) + 56234 (Rono's votes) + 57413 (Aluna's votes) = 178254 votes.

So, the three candidates got a total of 178254 votes.
