| She has been elected by 2/5 of 20 states which means 8/50 or 4/25 of all states. So to know how many more to reach halfway mark , I will do 1/2- 4/25. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I will multiply the denominators that gets me to /50, I will treat the numerators as I treated the denominators. That is- (25/50- 8/50) = 17/50. | |

| She needs to be nominated by 17/50 states more i.e. 17 more states. | |

| You are correct in saying that she needs17/50 more to reach the halfway mark, but she needs more than half to become a nominee. So she needs 1/50 more that is 18/50. | |
