In the election, candidate B recieved twice as many votes as candidate A. Candidate C recieved 15,000 fewer votes than candidate A. If a total of 109,000 votes were cast, how many votes did candidate B recieve?

Answer :

2a + a + a - 15000 = 109000
4a - 15000 = 109000
+ 15000
4a = 124000
a = 31000
-
31000 × 2 = 62000 = B
