In a recent election, Ms. Robbins received 8,000 votes cast by independent voters, that is, voters not registered with a specific political party. She also received 10 percent of the votes cast by those voters registered with a political party. If N is the total number of votes cast in the election and 40 percent of the votes cast were cast by independent voters, which of the following represents the number of votes that Ms. Robbins received?

A. 0.06N + 3,200
B. 0.1N + 7,200
C. 0.4N + 7,200
D. 0.1N + 8,000
E. 0.06N + 8,000


What's your answer? I m confused! will post the oa later!

Ms. Robbins recieved: -

8,000 (Independent voters) +0.1 (N-8,000) = 8,000 (Independent Voters) + 0.1N -800
= 7,200+ 0.1 N

So your answer is B. Could you please confirm if my answer was right or not.

.40(N)= Number of votes cast by independent voters.

.60(N)= Number of votes cast by registered voters.

Number of votes that Ms.Robbins received= .10*(.60)(N)+8000=.06N+8000
