该题是云南教育出版社出版的那本蓝皮书《商学院入学考试指导【上】》第194页的第406题。
Mr. Kramer, the losing candidate in a two-candidate election, received 942.586 votes, which was exactly 40 percent of all the 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?
(A) 10%
(B) 12%
(C) 15%
(D) 17%
(E) 20%
请问这道题是不是问如果 Mr. Kramer 要获得全部投票的 50%,所需要的票数和已获得的票数之差,占总选票的百分比啊?如果不是,那么 what percent of the remaining votes 中的 remaining votes 指的是多少?是总票数的60%吗?似乎不合理,因为另一个候选人也获得了一定的票数呀!
请不吝赐教。
