Word problems are tricky in somehow more than other problem because you have the additional step to translate.   Breaking the problem: Geoff how many votes he receives ?? 900 votes   he needs 3571 more votes so :   900+3571= 
<gadget id="calculator">  900+3571</gadget>
<output>4_471</output>
4471   Now what's the problem wants ?? a x %........4471 is what % of total votes 6000........translating: 4471= x/100 * 6000 ---   x= 74.5 %..........74.5
<result>A</result>
