How to solve this by using Plurality Method, Plurality by Elimination, and Borda Count Method?

Question

A local movie theater asks its patrons which movies they would like to view during next month's “Oldies but Goodies” week. The choices are Gone with the Wind (G), Casablanca (C), Anatomy of Murder (A), and Back to the Future (B). The preference table is shown below.

Number of votes	311	317	206	118
1st choice	G	A	C	B
2nd choice	A	C	B	G
3rd choice	C	B	G	A
4th choice	B	G	A	C

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Plurality: Whoever got most 1st place votes

Plurality With Elimination: Look at 1st place votes. If anyone has a majority (≥50%), they win. If no one has a majority, the one with the fewest 1st place votes is eliminated and his votes go to their second place choice. Then the process is repeated. Here, A does not have a majority. B is thrown out and G gets his votes. Now, G 429, A 317, and C 206 and so forth...

Borda Count. Give the places a score so that 1 through n places get n through 1 scores. In this case 1st choice gets 4 pts ... 4th choice gets 1 pt. Now you go through results for a particularly movie and take the sum of the products of choice placement times points. I'll do G as an example: 311*4 + 118*3 + 206*2 + 317*1 = 2327 points. Whoever has the most points is the winner.
