In a recent election, Ms. Robbins received 7,200 votes cast by independent voters, that is, voters not registered with a specific political party. She also received 10 percent of the votes cast by those voters registered with a political party. If N is the total number of votes cast in the election and 60 percent of the votes cast were cast by independent voters, which of the following represents the number of votes that Ms. Robbins received?	Pick one: A) 0.06N + 3,200 B) 0.1N + 7,200 C) 0.04N + 7,200 D) 0.1N + 8,000 E) 0.06N + 8,000
I will go with option C   According to question 60 percent of total votes (N) cas were cast by independent voters. This implies 40 percent of N are voters that belong to political party. And she received 7200 votes from independent voters and 10 percent from registered voters (i.e 0.1 * 0.4 * N = 0.04N). Hence total votes = 7200 + 0.04N ....option 0.04N + 7,200
