Carsonl then the answer to that question would be the winner receives 100%, which would be the maximum percentage to win, not the minimum. It's not rocket science~
I mean in theory the answer is A. but for all practical reasons i'd say if you get above 40% you're going to win (has anyone ever gotten more than 40% in a stars finals and not gone on to win?)
the questions needs worded better...If it means what is the minimum amount you can get to win than it is D but if it's the minimum amount you need to win than it is A
The answer is E. You would win for sure at 50.0%. It would be essentially improbable, and likely impossible, with the number of people voting, that one person would not get enough votes to get 0.1%. Therefore for everyone confident that it is A, the probabilities of losing with 50.0% is essentially lower than winning the megamillions lottery.
The answer is A and IDK how people on here are this bad at math.
Let's say finalist A gets 33.4, finalist B gets 40.5, and finalist C gets 261. Even though finalist A got 33.4, finalist B still won. So getting 33.4% does not guarantee a win, if anything it guarantees 2nd.
Like sorry every1 but this is very basic math :LLLLLL
I think the problem is not the math, but how people are reading the question. Many people seem to be focusing on the word MINIMUM, but thats not what the question is asking for, it wants to know what percent can GUARANTEE the win
D, I believe.
100 - 33.4 is 66.6, if in the rare occasion that the two other finalists split that vote, they would receive 33.3% of the vote, leading to the one with 33.4% to win.
It's super rare, but it's the least amount you would need if you're lucky.
