Answer if you know!​

Answer 1

Answer:

let total votes be x

votes for divya=D

votes for rakhi=R

votes for divya - votes for rakhi=.12x--------1

votes for divya + votes for rakhi=x----------2

subtracting 1 from 2

2(votes for rakhi)=.88x

2×132000=.88x

264000=.88x

x=264000/.88=300000

votes received by Divya=300000-132000=168000

election was won by=D-R=168000-132000=36000 votes

so option C is correct.

First let's calculate what percentage of votes each party got. if D got 12% more than R, it means that if I subtract 12% of votes from D they both would have the same amount of votes so :

$D - 12 = R \\ D = R + 12 \: percent \\D + R = 100 \: percent \\ (R + 12 \: percent) + R = 100 \: percent \\ 2R + 12 \: percent = 100 \: percent \\ 2R = 88 \: percent \\ R = 44 \: percent \: \\ D = 44 \: percent + 12 \: percent = 56 \: percent$

So 132000 votes is 44% and we need to know how much is 12%. One of the ways we can do this is dividing 132000 by 44 so we know what 1% is and then multiply that by 12. That gives us :

$\frac{132000}{44} = 3000 \\ \\ 3000 \: . \: 12 = 36000$

Note - Percent = %
