Determine the winner of the election using the plurality method and determine whether they received the majority of the votes. In the election for debate team president, Nancy got 26 votes, Frank got 12 votes, and George got 7 votes.

Welcome to the practice. In this problem, it says, determine the winner of the election using the plurality method and determine whether they received the majority of the votes. Here it says in the election for debate team president, Nancy got 26 votes, Frank got 12 votes, and George got 7 votes. Now, we don't have a preference table here, but we actually don't need it when determining the winner with the plurality method, as only first place votes count for this method, and we have received the first place vote totals. We can see that 26 is higher than 12 and 7, meaning that Nancy got the most first place votes, so Nancy will be the winner of the election. Now, the total number of votes cast are going to be 26 + 12 + 7. 26 + 12 is 38 + 7 is 45. So the total number of votes here is 45. We know that a majority is greater than 50%. So we need to find 50%. Of 45 to see if Nancy got enough first place votes to get the majority. Now, 50% or half of 45 is 22.5%. So if Nancy received more than 22.5 of the first place votes, then she did win the majority. 26 is greater than 22.5%, meaning that, yes, Nancy did win the majority. So again, Nancy is the winner here, and yes, she did win the majority. Great work.
