Kim was elected class president. She received 3 votes for every 2 that Amy got.No one else ran. However, if 8 of the people who voted for Kim had voted for Amy instead, Kim would have received only one vote for every 2 that Amy would have gotten. How many people voted?
Let N be the number of people voted.
The initial ratio of votes that Kim and Amy got is 3:2
=> The number of votes Kim got =
If 8 people voted more for Amy, then ratio is 1:2
=> The number of votes Kim got =
Solving N=30
Total 30 people voted.
