A) 50 B) 54 C) 56 D) 51 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 ?? 60 votes   he needs 3571 more votes so :   60+3000= 
<gadget id="calculator">  60+3000</gadget>
<output>3_060</output>
3060   Now what's the problem wants ?? a x %........3060 is what % of total votes 6000........translating: 3060= x/100 * 6000 ---   x= 51 %..........51
<result>D</result>
