Math Problem : HH.9 Election of three committees

Four people ran for the election of three members of the broadcast committee in the class.

How many votes at least are required to win ?

The number of the student of this class is 45 persons.












Answer
12 votes

Solution
Since three persons are elected, the number of votes required to win is more than the number of votes of rank 4th which is to be 11 votes at most by the calculation of 45/4=11.25. 

Therefore, 11+1=12 votes at least are required to be elected.
