In the 1996 presidential election, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole together received 538 electoral votes. Clinton received 220 more votes than Dole. How many votes did each candidate get?

Respuesta :

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Bill + 220

Total is 538 so subtract 220 which gives you 318.

318/2 = 159

159+220 for Bill = 379

Bob has 159

Add 159 + 220 for Bill and 159 for bob = 538

So Bill has 379

and Bob has 159
