Given : At an election, the candidate who got 56% of the votes cast won by 144 votes.
80% people cast their vote
there were no invalid votes
To Find : The total number of voters on the voting list
Solution:
Let say Voter in Voter list = 1000V
80% people cast their vote = (80/100)1000V = 800V
Candidate got 56% votes = (56/100)800V = 448V
Another candidate got = 800V - 448V
= 352V
Difference = 448V - 352V
= 96V
96V = 144
=>2V = 3
=> V = 3/2
=> 1000V = 1000 * 3/2
=> 1000V = 1500
1500 Voters were on voter list
