Answer:

The number of people who voted for  candidate B = 314.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people who  voted in the election = 471

The portion of votes Candidate B received  = 2/3

Now, here calculating the (2/3) portion of 471:

(2/3)  of 471  = [tex]\frac{2}{3}  \times (471)  = 314[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of 471  = 314

Hence, the number of people who voted for  candidate B = 314.
