In a recent election, Geoff received 0.5 percent of the 5,000 votes cast. To win the election, a candidate needed to receive more than x% of the vote. If Geoff needed exactly 2,571 more votes to win the election, what is the value of x ?  Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 50  B) 54  C) 52  D) 60  E) 63
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 ?? 25 votes   he needs 2571 more votes so :   25+2571= 
<gadget id="calculator">  25+2571</gadget>
<output>2_596</output>
2596   Now what's the problem wants ?? a x %........2596 is what % of total votes 5000........translating: 2596= x/100 * 5000 ---   x= 52 %..........52
<result>C</result>
