Answer
Since Professor Disney received the most points, Professor Disney is declared the new president using the Borda count method.
Work Step by Step
With the Borda count method, each candidate receives 1 point for each last place vote, 2 points for each second-to-last-place vote, and so on. The candidate who receives the most points is declared the winner.
We can find the total points for each candidate.
Disney: 4(10) + 3(30+22) + 2(18+2) + 1(0) = 236 points
Sarnoff: 4(18) + 3(10+2) + 2(22) + 1(30) = 182 points
Gates: 4(22+2) + 3(18) + 2(30+10) + 1(0) = 230 points
Ford: 4(30) + 3(0) + 2(0) + 1(22+18+10+2) = 172 points
Since Professor Disney received the most points, Professor Disney is declared the new president using the Borda count method.
