in a recent head - to - head run - off election , 12,000 absentee ballets were cast . 1 / 6 of the absentee ballets were thrown out and 3 / 5 of the remaining absentee ballets were cast for candidate a . how many absentee votes did candidate b receive ?
5 / 6 * 2 / 5 ( total absentee votes ) = 1 / 3 ( total votes ) = 1 / 3 * 12000 = 4000 answer is c
multiply(divide(divide(subtract(subtract(multiply(multiply(const_3, const_4), const_1000), multiply(multiply(multiply(const_3, const_4), const_1000), divide(1, 6))), multiply(subtract(multiply(multiply(const_3, const_4), const_1000), multiply(multiply(multiply(const_3, const_4), const_1000), divide(1, 6))), divide(3, 5))), const_1000), const_4), const_3)
