Problem: in a recent election , james received 0.5 percent of the 2,000 votes cast . to win the election , a candidate needed to receive more than 50 percent of the vote . how many additional votes would james have needed to win the election ?
Rationale: james = ( 0.5 / 100 ) * 2000 = 10 votes to win = ( 50 / 100 ) * total votes + 1 = ( 50 / 100 ) * 2000 + 1 = 1001 remaining voted needed to win election = 1001 - 10 = 991 answer : option d
annotated_formula: subtract(add(const_1000, const_1000), multiply(add(const_1000, const_1000), 0.5))
