Chapter 1, Problem 45E

Table 1-35 (see Exercise 15) shows the preference schedule for an election with five candidates (A, B, C, D, and E). The number of voters in this election was very large, so the columns of the preference schedule give percent of voters instead of the numbers of voters. Find the winner of election using the method of pairwise comparisons.

$Table1-35$

Percent of voters	$24$	$23$	$19$	$14$	$11$	$9$
$1st$	C	D	D	B	A	D
$2nd$	A	A	A	C	C	C
$3rd$	B	C	E	A	B	A
$4th$	E	B	C	D	E	E
$5th$	D	E	B	E	D	B
