Mr. Kramer, the losing candidate in a two-candidate election, received 942,568 votes, which was exactly 25 percent of all votes cast. Approximately what percent of the remaining votes would he need to have received in order to have won at least 50 percent of all the votes cast?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 10%
B) 12%
C) 15%
D) 17%
E) 33%
Lets assume that candidate got 25% votes and total votes is 100.   Candidate won = 25   Remaining = 75   To get 50%, candidate requires 25 votes from 100 which is 25% and 25 votes from 75.   25/75 = 33.33%   Which is approx 33%. Hence the answer is 33%
