In a college hostel, mess society elections are going on. There are two teams which are participating against each other - Fungry and Foodies. Last year, fungry team had won the elections. There are total 2,60,000 students who voted this year and last year. No. of votes which are casted against fungry this year, increased by 25% than the previous year. And hence fungry team this time lost the election by twice the number of votes with which it had won last year. Calculate the number of votes casted to Fungry team last yea
Answers
Explanation:
let , x = number of votes casted to Fungry. 260000 - 260000× 25•/• = 2x
260000- 260000 × 25/100 = 2x
260000 - 2600 × 25 = 2x
260000 - 65000 = 2x
195000 = 2x.
x = 195000/2
x = 97500.
hence, number of votes casted to Fungry
= 97500.
Answer:140,000
Explanation:
Let number of votes for the fungry and foodies be 'x' and 'y' last year, then
this year the number of votes given to foodies is '1.25y' and say fungry get this time 'z' number of votes.
Therefore,
According to the given condition,
2*(x-y)=1.25*y-z
z=3.25y-2x
we can write 3.25y-2x+1.25y=260,000
4.5y-2x=520000 ------ (1)
Also x+y=260000 -------- (2)
solving above equations, we get
x=140,000
y=120,000
