Question

HELP ME (:
Maya and Sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. The person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as the winner. Sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. No person in the audience was allowed to vote more than once. The equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes Maya received.

x - 62,500 = 0.25y

If a total of 125,000 people voted, how many votes did Maya receive?

Answer 1

x - 62,500 = 0.25y

x = Maya, y = total, = 125,000
x - 62500 = 0.25(125,000) = 31,250
x - 62500 = 31,250
x = 62500 + 31250 =

can you do the rest?
