To determine whether Rachel won by the majority of votes, we need to compare the number of votes each candidate received. Here are the steps:
1. Define the votes received by each candidate:
- Margie received 490 votes.
- Rachel received 644 votes.
2. Compare the votes:
- Rachel received 644 votes, whereas Margie received 490 votes.
3. Determine the majority:
- Rachel's votes (644) are greater than Margie's votes (490).
Since Rachel received more votes than Margie, it is clear that Rachel won by a majority.
Therefore, the answer to the question is True.
