Question

There are 100 U.S.senators.
How many senators would
constitute a majority?


25


50


75

Answer 1

To constitute a majority of the 100 U.S. senators, you need more than half.

Half of 100 is 50, so a majority would require at least 51 senators.

Therefore, the answer is neither 25 nor 75; the correct answer is 51 senators for a majority.
