Mr. Kramer, the losing candidate in a two-candidate election, received 942,568 votes, which was exactly 30 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 most appropriate option:
A) 10%
B) 12%
C) 15%
D) 17%
E) 28%
Lets assume that candidate got 30% votes and total votes is 100.   Candidate won = 30   Remaining = 70   To get 50%, candidate requires 20 votes from 100 which is 20% and 20 votes from 70.   20/70 = 28.57%   Which is approx 28%. Hence the answer is 28%
