Chapter 1, Problem 37E

Table 1-35 (see Exercise 15 ) shows the preference schedule for election with five candidates (A, B, C, D, and E). The number of voters in this election was very large, so the columns of the preference schedule show percentages rather than actual numbers of voters. Use the Plurality with elimination method to

a. find the winner of the election.

b. find the complete ranking of the candidates.
