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?

Votes received by Maya = 93750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation which represents the relation between total number of votes cast (y) and number of votes (x) Maya received is

x - 62500 = 0.25y

If the total number of people voted (y) = 125000

Then we have to calculate the votes received by Maya

x - 62500 = 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 31250

x = 93750 votes

Therefore, votes received by Maya are 93750.
