Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let total number of votes =100

votes for defeated candidate=45

and for other winner =100-45=55

the winning candidate gets more votes =55-45=10 votes

if the difference is 10 then the total number of votes =100

if the difference is 295 then total no of votes is

100×295/10=2950
