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 = <T>multiply(2000, 0.25)=500.0
The loser got 45% of the votes because 100 - 55 = <T>subtract(100, 55)=45
The winner got 275 votes because 500 x .55 = <T>multiply(500, 0.55)=275.0
The loser got 225 votes because 500 x .45 = <T>multiply(500, 0.45)=225.0
The winner got 50 more votes because 275 - 225 = <T>subtract(275, 225)=50
