Answer
Using the Borda count method, Proposal B is selected as the design that will be used for the affordable housing.
Work Step by Step
With the Borda count method, each proposal receives 1 point for each last place vote, 2 points for each second-to-last-place vote, and so on. The proposal with the most points is declared the winner.
We can find the total points for each proposal.
Proposal A:
4(1500) + 3(0) + 2(0) + 1(600 + 300) = 6900 points
Proposal B:
4(600) + 3(1500 + 300) + 2(0) + 1(0) = 7800 points
Proposal C:
4(300) + 3(0) + 2(1500 + 600) + 1(0) = 5400 points
Proposal D:
4(0) + 3(600) + 2(300) + 1(1500) = 3900 points
Since Proposal B received the most points using the Borda count method, Proposal B is selected as the design which will be used for the affordable housing.
