Voting

400 employees cast their votes in a board member election that has only 2 candidates. 120 people vote for candidate A, while half of the remaining voters abstain. How many votes does candidate B receive?

Correct result:

B =  140

Solution:

A=120 X=(400−A)/2=(400−120)/2=140 B=400−A−X=400−120−140=140
