Question

a bill was passed in a parliament with 60% of members voting for it which was the 60 more than the number of members who opposed the bill then the number of members in the parliament

Answer 1

voted for the bill =60%
voted against =40%
given, x being the total strength
x×60%=x×40%+60
60x/100=40x/100+60
20x/100=60
20x=6000
x=300 is the total strength of parliament

Answer 2

Answer:

The total strength of parliament is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total no. of votes

We are given that members voted for the bill is 60%

No . of votes in favor = $\frac{60}{100}x=0.6x$

So, Members voted against = 100% - 60% = 40%

No . of votes in against = $\frac{40}{100}x=0.4x$

Now we are given that 60% of members voting for it which was the 60 more than the number of members who opposed the bill

So, $0.6x=0.4x+60$

$0.2x=60$

$x=\frac{60}{0.2}$

$x=300$

Hence the total strength of parliament is 300
