Question

A candidate Got 60% of votes in an Election and won by 300 votes how many votes were cast?

Answer 1

LET TOTAL VOTE CASTED = X

60% OF X = 300

60/100*X=300

X = 300/(60/100)

X = 300 * 100/60

X = 5 * 100

X = 500

THEREFORE TOTAL VOTES CASTED WERE 500

Answer 2

60% of X= 300

=> X= 300 x 100
—————–
60
500 votes were cast in total

Hope it's help you
