Question
Our class voted for class treasurer. There are 30 students in our class. After voting for class treasurer, Bart received 2 times more votes than Kaleb. How many votes did Bart receive? A. 10 votes B. 20 votes C. 30 votes D. 40 votes
Solution
Let's break down the problem:
-
We know that there are 30 students in the class and they all voted for the class treasurer. This means there are 30 votes in total.
-
The problem states that Bart received 2 times more votes than Kaleb. This means the total votes are divided between Bart and Kaleb in a ratio of 2:1.
-
To find out how many votes Bart received, we need to divide the total votes into 3 parts (2 parts for Bart and 1 part for Kaleb).
-
So, 30 votes / 3 parts = 10 votes per part.
-
Since Bart received 2 parts, he got 10 votes/part * 2 parts = 20 votes.
So, Bart received 20 votes (Option B).
