Question

A received 60% of the votes cast and secured a majority of 45 votes that is 45 more votes than B. How many stydents voted?

Answer 1

If A received 60% of votes then B will receive 40% of votes.

Let the total no. of votes be 'x'

A got 45more votes than B

A = B+45

(60/100)x = (40/100)x + 45

(20/100)x = 45

x = 225

Hence 225 members casted their votes
