Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
total votes = x
vote the losing person had = 40% of x
vote the winning person had = 60% of x
diffrence in votes between winner and loser = 15000 votes
60x/100-40x/100=15000
2x/10=15000
2x= 150000
x=75000
60% of x
=60/100*x
=60/100* 75000
= 45000 votes
The person who won had 45000
