Answer

In order to solve this problem we need to create a ratio with the given information. It says that for every vote cast for candidate A, candidate B got votes. We can write the following ratio.

$A:B\rightarrow$\frac{A}{B}$$

Now substitute in the given numbers.

$1:3\rightarrow $\frac{1}{3}$$

We know that candidate B received votes. Write a new ratio.

$A:320\rightarrow$\frac{A}{320}$$

Now, use the original relationship to create a proportion and solve for the number of votes that candidate A received.

$\frac{1}{3}$=\frac{A}{320}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

Simplify.

Divide both sides of the equation by .

$\frac{3A}{3}$=\frac{320}{3}$

Solve.

$A=106\t$\frac{2}{3}$$
