Answer 1

A 2222

To find the number of votes received by each candidate, we can use the percentages given in the circle graph.

Heather: 40% of 120 votes = 0.4 * 120 = 48 votes
Jorden: 18% of 120 votes = 0.18 * 120 = 21.6 votes (rounded to 22 votes)

The difference in the number of votes they received:
48 - 22 = 26 votes

Therefore, Heather received 26 more votes than Jorden, which is 26 votes.
