In a survey 80 students were asked to vote for their favourite subject from English,Science and Maths.1/5 voted for english,1/4 voted for science and the rest voted for math.How many more votes did math receive than english?

Dear Student,

Let the no. of students who voted for maths be x.

Therefore,
15×80+14×80 + x = 80

16 + 20 + x = 80

36 + x = 80

x = 44 

Votes for English = 15×80 = 16

Hence, maths received 28 (44 - 16) more votes than english.

Regards
