Larry, Moe, and Curly were running for student council. Moe got twice as many votes as Larry. Curly won the election with 7 more votes than Moe. If 327 people voted, how many votes did each person get?

Respuesta :

total vote = 327

Let

Larry votes = x

Moe votes = 2x

Curly votes = 2x + 7

Therefore,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2x+2x+7=327 \\ 5x+7=327 \\ 5x=327-7 \\ 5x=320 \\ x=\frac{320}{5} \\ x=64 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Larry votes = 64

Moe votes = 64(2) = 128

Curly votes = 64(2) + 7 = 135
