Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Election 1:
Let the total number of registered voters be x.
57% of registered voters cast 273,600 votes.
=> 57/100 * x = 273600
=> x = 273600 * 100/57 = 480,000.
Election 2:
Let the total number of registered voters be x.
60% of registered voters cast 273,600 votes.
=> 60/100 * x = 273600
=> x = 273600 * 100/60 = 456,000.
Conclusion:
1. The total number of registered voters in first election are greater than second election by 5.3% i.e. [ (480,000 - 456000) * 100 /456000 ~ 5.3%]
