in a recent head - to - head run - off election , 18,000 absentee ballets were cast . 3 / 7 of the absentee ballets were thrown out and 2 / 9 of the remaining absentee ballets were cast for candidate a . how many absentee votes did candidate b receive ?
"4 / 7 * 7 / 9 ( total absentee votes ) = 4 / 9 ( total votes ) = 4 / 9 * 18000 = 8000 answer is d"
