in a recent head - to - head run - off election , 10,000 absentee ballets were cast . 2 / 3 of the absentee ballets were thrown out and 2 / 5 of the remaining absentee ballets were cast for candidate a . how many absentee votes did candidate b receive ?
"1 / 3 * 3 / 5 ( total absentee votes ) = 1 / 5 ( total votes ) = 1 / 5 * 10000 = 2000 answer is a"
