For our civics class we had to watch the election results of our local candidates. Boyner, Carlson, Jefferson and Wilcox were all running for mayor. There were 100,000 votes to be captured. Create a chart graph that shows the four candidates and the percentage of votes. (NOTE: 100,000 equals 100%.) Boyner got twenty-three percent of the votes. Carlson got twenty-two percent of the votes. Jefferson got twenty-seven percent of the votes and Wilcox got twenty-eight percent of the votes. How many more votes did Wilcox get over Carlson?
