1. How many votes does Candidate Smith claim?

Candidate Smith claimed 52% of 5,000

Candidate Smith claimed 0.52 * 5,000 = 2,600

Candidate Smith claimed 2,600 votes

2. What is the total of the vote count you just calculated for Candidate Smith and the 2,681 votes Candidate Adams claims?

Total votes claimed = 2,600 + 2,681

Total votes claimed = 5,281

3. What percentage of the votes does Candidate Adams claim? Do not round your result?
