Answer 1

Answer:

let non congrrss got x%

Congress got x+10 %

x+x+10=100

2x=90

x=45

non congress got 45% and congress got 55%

total votes=126000*100/45

=280000

Congress got=280000*55/100

=154000

no of votes by loss=154000-126000

=28000

Answer 2

The non-congress lost by 12600 votes.

• A value or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is referred to as a percentage in mathematics. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it by its entirety and then multiply it by 100. The proportion therefore refers to a component per hundred. Per 100 is what the word percent means. The word "percent" is used to symbolise it. There is no dimension to percentages. As a result, it is known as a dimensionless number. When we say a number is 50% of anything, we mean that it is 50% of everything.
• We must divide the value by the entire value to find the percentage, and then multiply the resulting number by 100.
• The original number is subtracted from the new number, divided by the original number, then multiplied by 100 to get the % increase.

Here, according to the given information, we are given that,

If the number of Non-Congress voters is 100, then the number of Congress voters is 110.

If the number of Non-Congress voters is 1, then the number of Congress voters is $\frac{110}{100} = \frac{11}{10} .$

If the number of Non-Congress voters is 126000, then the number of Congress voters is $\frac{11}{10}.126000 = 138600.$

Then, the Non-Congress lost the election by (138600 - 126000) = 12600 votes.

Hence, the non-congress lost by 12600 votes.
