...election. Middletown is divided? into 3 districts; District A has 10,000 voters, District B has 20,000 voters, and District C has 16,000 voters. Councilmen Hamersteinn's staff has determined he could expect 10% of the vote in District A, 28% in District B and 60% in District C. If councilmen Hamersteinn needs ateast 50% of the total vote in Middletown to remain in office, how many votes could he expect in the election and is that enough to keep him in office?
 
A = 10,000*0.10 = 1000
B = 20,000*0.28 = 5600
C = 16,000*0.60 = 9600

Total = 16,200 votes.

16,200 votes / 46,000 possible votes = 0.352, meaning about 35% total votes.
