Answer 1

But correct is 6000 because he won by ratio

Answer 2

Answer:

6000 votes were cast to Kamran.

Given Data:

14000 votes.

Ratio: 4:3

To Find:

Votes to Kamran?

Step 1:

Since this is a ratio question, let's draw a Ratio Box.

We know the ratio for the votes for Skinner and Whitehouse, and the total number of votes cast.  

Step 2:

Fill in the total by adding the ratio (4 + 3 = 7),

And then find the multiplier by seeing  

How many times 7 goes into 140,000 (140,000 ÷ 7 = 20,000).

The question wants to know how many votes Whitehouse received, which is 60,000.
