Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the Borda count method, each first choice vote is worth 2 points, each second choice vote is worth 1 point, and each third choice vote gets 0 points. Calculating the points for each choice:- B: $10 \times 2 + 8 \times 1 + 4 \times 0 = 20 + 8 + 0 = 28$- M: $10 \times 1 + 8 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10 + 16 + 4 = 30$- Z: $10 \times 0 + 8 \times 0 + 4 \times 2 = 0 + 0 + 8 = 8$M wins with 30 points.
