If each state elects three senators and the capital territory elects one, how many senators are there from the 36 states and Abuja?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 109
- Step 1: Multiply 36 by 3 to get 108. Step 2. Add one for the Federal Capital Territory to get 109. Answer: 109. Why not the others: 37 counts only the units, 144 uses four per state, and 111 adds three for Abuja.
