At an election, the candidate who got 60% of the votes cast won by 200 votes. Find the total number of voters on the voting list if 66.67% people cast their vote and there were no invalid votes.
Let say Total Votes were 3V
People who casted Votes = (66.67/100)*3V = 2V
Candidate who won got = (60/100)*2V = 1.2V
Other Cadidate got = 2V - 1.2V = 0.8V
Difference = 1.2V - 0.8V = 0.4V
0.4V = 200
=> V = 500
3V = 1500
Total Number of Voters on Voting List = 1500
Answer:
1500
Step-by-step explanation:
let the candidate who won has votes = x+200
and who loss = x
total number of votes that the candidate who own has are=
60/100=x+200/2x+200 [ total number votes for both candidate is 2x+200]
x= 400
total number of votes that both candidates won are 1000
which is equal to 66.67%=1000
rest 33.33%= 500
for 100%...its 1500 people
