Two candidates A and B are up for election. A is so popular that the number of votes for B is expected to be less than or equal to 10% of A's votes. If the total number of votes for both candidates is 110 , what is the minimum number of votes we could expect A to receive?

Answer 1

A + B = 110
B <= .1A
A+.1A >= A+B = 110
1.1A >= 110
A >= 100

So, 100 votes for A, 10 for B

Anything less than 100 for A will result in less than 10 for B, so we can't make it to 110 votes.
