Answer 1

Answer:

5446 votes needed to win the election

Answer 2

5,445

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of voters = 14520

No. of voters who haven't cast votes=25% i.e., 25% of 14520= 3,630

Remaining voters =75% I.e., 75% of 14520 = 10890

No.of votes needed to win the election = 50% of 75% of 14520

i. e., 50% of 10890 = 5445.
