A blind taste test is over and a new favorite juice flavor has been selected. The new flavor received 3 votes for every vote received by the original flavor. The new flavor received 723 votes. How many votes did the original flavor receive?

Sagot :

According to the statement, the new flavour received 3 votes for every vote received by the original flavour. Denoting:

• x = # of votes of the original flavour,

,

• n = # of votes of the new flavour.

We can write the following equation for the number of votes:

[tex]n=3\cdot x[/tex]

Now, according to the statement, the number of votes of the new flavour is n = 723, replacing this number in the equation above and solving for x, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 723=3\cdot x, \\ x=\frac{723}{3}=241. \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer

The original flavour received 241 votes.
