g+g+5+g+9=100
Then we find Ellen got 85/300 or 52/150 votes which equals to 226. Therefore Fran got 48/150 and Gayle got 43/150.
Considering that Ellen's vote is not far beyond others, then it must be somewhere slightly below 226x3 and the number must be divisible by 300 or 150. The answer is E 600

assume total votes casted = x
Given-
\(e+e-4+e-9 = 100\)
\(e= \frac{113}{3} %\)
\(\frac{113}{300 } * x= 226 \)
x= 600
