Candidate C received 15,000 fewer votes than candidate B. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did candidate B receive?

Candidate B has 69,500 votes!

Step-by-step explanation:

one easy way to solve this is by dividing 109,000 in half and that gives us

54500 and 54500 but since Candidate C has 15000 less

we subtract 15000 from candidate c and add 15000 from candidate b

which gives us

Candidate C= 39,500 votes

Candidate B= 69,500 votes

please give brainliest!

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this
