There are only three candidates.
Isaac 4000 votes
Benoit 6000 votes
Rene 1/3 of all the votes.
Therefore Isaac and Benoit together got (1-1/3)=2/3 of all the votes.
Total number of votes =(4000+6000)/(2/3)
=?
In a mayor's race of three candidates, Isaac received 4,000 votes, Benoit received 6000 votes and Rene received 1/3 of the votes. What was the total number of votes cast in the election?
Can anyone explain this. It seems like info is missing!
