Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A simple majority quota means that in order for a motion to pass, it needs to receive more than half of the total votes. With a total of 41 votes, half would be 20.5. Since you can't have a half vote, the closest whole number to 20.5 is 21. Therefore, the quota would be 21 votes. The best choice is B.
