Question

In an election, Candidate A received 0.443 of the vote, while Candidate B received 0.531.
How much greater was Candidate B's part of the total vote?
0.078
00.12
0.088
0.188

Answer 1

To find out how much greater Candidate B's part of the total vote was compared to Candidate A's, you subtract the vote proportion of Candidate A from that of Candidate B:

\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Candidate B's vote} - \text{Candidate A's vote}
\]

\[
\text{Difference} = 0.531 - 0.443 = 0.088
\]

So, Candidate B's part of the total vote was 0.088 greater than Candidate A's part.

The correct answer is **0.088**.
