Voting Poll - Candidate A 30%, Candidate B 50%, Undecided 20%
The table above summarizes the results of an election poll ub which 4000 voters participated. In the actual election, all 4000 of these people voted and those people who chose a candidate in the poll voted for that candidate. People who were undecided voted for candidate A in the same proportion as the people who cast votes for candidates in the poll. Of the people polled, how many people voted for candidate A in the actual election?
(a)1420, (b)1500, (c)1640, (d)1680 (e)1800
I have 1200 votes for candidate A, 2000 for candidate B, 800 undecided. I'm lost when it gets to the proportional part.
Can anyone help?
