Answer
Rent is selected 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 which receives the most points is declared the winner.
We can find the total points for each candidate.
Cabaret:
5(5 + 4) + 4(0) + 3(2) + 2(3) + 1(5 + 3) = 65 points
The Producers:
5(2) + 4(4 + 3) + 3(5) + 2(5) + 1(3) = 66 points
Rent:
5(0) + 4(5 + 5 + 3) + 3(4 + 3) + 2(2) + 1(0) = 77 points
Sweeney Todd:
5(5) + 4(2) + 3(3) + 2(4 + 3) + 1(5) = 61 points
West Side Story:
5(3 + 3) + 4(0) + 3(5) + 2(5) + 1(4 + 2) = 61 points
Since Rent received the most points, Rent is declared the winner using the Borda count method.
Rent is selected using the Borda count method.
