Answer:
The chips and dip got two second place votes
Step-by-step explanation:
First step you would do is figure out the amount of first place votes the chips and dip received
Since we know each first place vote is worth 3 points and we know there is 5 first place votes you multiply 5 x 3
5 x 3 = 15
So we now have 15 votes
Next we figure out the amount of third place votes
We use the same concept but different numbers to figure this one out
We know that each third place vote is worth 1 point and we also know that 4 people voted third place. Since we are using the same concept we multiply 4 x 1
4 x 1 = 4
Now we have to ad 15 + 4 to figure out how many votes there is so far
15 + 4 = 19
So as of right now the chips and dip has 19 votes
In order to get 23 it needs 4 more votes
19 + 4 = 23
We know each second place vote is worth 2 points. So now we have to figure out what to multiply by 2 to make 4.
2 x 1 = 2
Therefore we know it isn't 1
2 x 2 = 4
The chips and dip needed 4 more points to equal 23
So, your answer is that the chips and dip received 2 second place votes
Hope this helps!
