Question

A candidate got 56500 votes in an election and won by his opponents by a margin of 3000 votes. if there were only two candidates, find the percentages of votes obtained by the defeated candidate.

Answer 1

Solution:

Given, the winning candidate gets 56500 votes.

Then, the defeated candidate gets

= 56500 - 3000 [ ATQ ]

= 53500

∴ total number of votes

= 56500 + 53500

= 110000

Hence, the percentage of votes obtained by the defeated candidate

= (votes obtained)/(total votes) × 100 %

= (53500/110000) × 100 %

= 535/11 %

= 48 (7/11) %
