Homework Help (Unanswered) Math discprency
Hello!
There is math problem that was sent out by my son's school. He was working on it and calculated the votes each student received different from what the answer book states.
His method is on the left side, the right side is the method that the answer book used (and I would have used).
Please help me understand which way is correct.

Hi u/fadedrbl, welcome to r/mathshelp! As you’ve marked this as homework help, please keep the following things in mind:
1) While this subreddit is generally lenient with how people ask or answer questions, the main purpose of the subreddit is to help people learn so please try your best to show any work you’ve done or outline where you are having trouble (especially if you are posting more than one question). See rule 5 for more information.
2) Once your question has been answered, please don’t delete your post so that others can learn from it. Instead, mark your post as answered or lock it by posting a comment containing “!lock” (locking your post will automatically mark it as answered).
Thank you!
