those who did, 15% yotes were invalid and rest were received by the three candidates in the ratio 3:4:5. Find
the total population if the winning candidate received 34,000 votes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

460,020

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ratio 3:4:5

34,000 represents 5

Now if u divide

u get 6800

If u multiply that by 3 and 4

U get 20,400 and 27,200

And when u add u get 81,600

Now u need to find the 15%

81,600 is 85%

And when u multiply 0.85 by 0.15 you get 12.75%

And then we can multiply we get 10,404

Now we can add we get 92,004 votes

Multiply by 5 we get

460,020 votes
