In the first round of the elections, the only two candidates got exactly the same number of votes. During the second round, 22,000 votes switched from the first candidate to the second one. The total number of votes remained the same in both rounds, and no other votes switched sides. If, in the second round, the winning candidate got five times as many votes as the other candidate, how many people have voted in each round? Choose one:  A) 15,000  B) 66,000  C) 40,000  D) 50,000  E) 60,000
Let A be the first candidate and B be the second one.   Given x+22000 = 5(x-22000) =&gt; x = 33000   2x = 66000   IMO option 66,000.
