Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. In the last student council election, the winner got 55% of the votes and the loser got the rest. If the school has 2000 students, but only 25% of them voted, how many more votes did the winner get than the loser?
500 students voted because 2000 x .25 = 500. The loser got 45% of the votes because 100 - 55 = 45. The winner got 275 votes because 500 x .55 = 275. The loser got 225 votes because 500 x .45 = 225. The winner got 50 more votes because 275 - 225 = 50.
The final answer: 50.
