Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Government Question 36

Country Z uses a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) electoral system with a total of 120 seats, of which 80 are constituency seats elected by first‑past‑the‑post and 40 are list seats used to achieve overall proportionality. A (5\%\) party‑vote threshold applies. The party‑vote percentages and constituency seats won are: - Party A: (42\%\) of the vote, 35 constituency seats - Party B: (28\%\) of the vote, 30 constituency seats - Party C: (15\%\) of the vote, 10 constituency seats - Party D: (9\%\) of the vote, 5 constituency seats - Party E: (6\%\) of the vote, 0 constituency seats Assuming seats are allocated by rounding the ideal proportional entitlement (vote % × 120) to the nearest whole number, calculate the total number of seats that Party C will hold after the list seats are added.
