A newspaper article reports the results of an election between two candidates. The article says that Smith received 60% of the votes and that Murphy received 15 of the votes. A reader writes in to complain that the article cannot be accurate. What reason might the reader have to say this?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, smith receives 60% of the vote this means murphy must receive 40% of the vote. Therefore 15 = 40% of the total vote.

Thus total vote = 37.5, which is kind of absurd. As total vote count must be an integer. Moreover, the report must be consistent with the result, which does not seem in this case.
