Question

ain an election there are only 2 candidates. the winner got 56% votes and wonby 8400votes. find the total numbers of votes polled if there were no invalid votes​

Answer 1

$\huge{SOLUTION}$

The percentage of votes got by winning candidate = 56%

Hence, losing candidate got 44% of the votes.

Now,

Let the total number of votes = x

Then,

$\frac{56}{100} \times x = 8400$

$56 \times x = 8400 \times 100$

$56x = 840000$

$x = \frac{840000}{56}$

$x = 15000$

Hence,
