Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total no.of votes be x

Amit got 58% of the total votes

.°. No. of votes given to Amit = $\frac{58x}{100}$...(1)

No. of votes given to Amit = 725...(2)

From (1) & (2),

$\frac{58x}{100} = 725 \\ .°. 58x = 752 \times 100 \\ .°. x = \frac{725 \times 100}{58} \\ .°. x = \frac{25(29) \times 2(50)}{2(29)} \\ .°. x = 25 \times 50 \\ .°. x = 1250$
