Video Summary

After counting 90% of the votes in a school election, five candidates have the following votes: Alex (14), Bella (11), Calvin (10), Diane (8), and Eddie (2), totaling 45 votes so far. Since 45 votes are 90% of total votes, 100% equals 50 votes, meaning 5 votes remain. By allocating the remaining votes optimally: Alex could reach 19 and win, Bella could reach 16, and Calvin could reach 15, both surpassing Alex. Diane (13) and Eddie (7) cannot win. Therefore, only Alex, Bella, and Calvin still have a chance to win, making it three candidates.
