Table 1-36

Percent of voters	$25$	$21$	$15$	$12$	$10$	$9$	$8$
$1st$	C	E	B	A	C	C	C
$2nd$	E	D	D	D	D	B	E
$3rd$	D	B	E	B	E	A	D
$4th$	A	A	C	E	A	E	B
$5th$	B	C	A	C	B	D	A

Table1 - 36 (see Exercise16 ) shows the preference schedule for an election with five candidates (A, B, C, D, and E). The total number of people that voted in this election was very large, so the columns of the preference schedule show percentages rather than actual numbers of voters. Use the Borda count method to finds the complete ranking of the candidates. (Hint: The ranking is determined by the percentages and does not depend on the number of voters, so you can pick any number to use for the number of voters. Pick a nice round one.)
