At a recent election a total of 93648 votes were cast for the 4 candidates, the winner exceeding his opponents by 25627, 10681 and 55924 votes respectively . How many votes cast for each candidate?

The number of votes cast for each candidate are as follows:

Candidate a = 46470

Candidate b = 20843

Candidate c = 35789

Candidate d = -9454

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B, C and D represents the number of votes for a (winner), b, c and d candidates. Therefore, we have:

A + B + C + D = 93648 (1)

Also, we have:

A - B = 25627

B = A - 25627 (2)

A - C = 10681

C = A - 10681 (3)

A - D = 55924

D = A - 55924 (4)

Substituting equations (2), (3) and (4) into (1) and solve for A, we have:

A + A - 25627 + A - 10681 + A - 55924 = 93648

4A = 93648 + 25627 + 10681 + 55924

4A = 185880

A = 185880 / 4

A = 46470

Substituting A = 46470 into each of equations (2), (3) and (4), we have:

B = 46470 - 25627 = 20843

C = 46470 - 10681 = 35789

D = 46470 - 55924 = -9454

Therefore, the number of votes cast for each candidate are as follows:

Candidate a = 46470

Candidate b = 20843

Candidate c = 35789

Candidate d = -9454

Additional Note:

It should be noted that Candidate d has negative votes of -9454. This is possible because a negative vote is voting system that gives votes the opportunity to indicate dislike for a candidate, without increasing the votes of other candidates, and the number of dislikes will be the number of votes that will be deducted from the votes of the candidates. Therefore, a candidate can have negative votes cast if he gets only dislikes or more dislikes than votes.

i think it is c, not positive though

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights
