In a local election, votes were cast for Mr. Dyer, Ms. Frau, and Mr. Borak in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2. If there were no other candidates and none of the 1,800 voters cast more than one vote, how many votes did Ms. Frau receive?

A. 200

B. 300

C. 400

D. 600

E. 900


We can create the ratio:

Mr. Dyer : Ms. Frau : Mr. Borak = 4x : 3x : 2x and create the equation:

1800 = 4x + 3x + 2x

1800 = 9x

200 = x

So Ms. Frau received 3 * 200 = 600 votes.

Answer: D

D. 600

E. 900

4x+3x+2x=9x
9x=1800
x=200

We are looking for value of 3x = Share of votes for Mr. F

3x=3*200=600
