Answer
Since Soup B received the most points, Soup B is declared the winner 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.
Soup A: 4(34) + 3(0) + 2(0) + 1(30 + 6 + 2) = 174 points
Soup B: 4(30) + 3(34+2) + 2(6) + 1(0) = 240 points
Soup C: 4(6) + 3(30) + 2(34+2) + 1(0) = 186 points
Soup D: 4(2) + 3(6) + 2(30) + 1(34) = 120 points
Since Soup B received the most points, Soup B is declared the winner using the Borda count method.
