Question

in a election,candidate A got 66% if the total votes and won the election by 36000 votes. How many votes were polled in all?​

Answer 1

Answer:

112500

Step-by-step explanation:

(66/100)x-(34/100)x=36000

(32/100)x=36000

x=(36000*100)/32

x=112500

Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of votes= 112500 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of votes be X.

Hence, 66% of X= 66x/100

Therefore, left percentage= x- 66x/100

= 34x/100

Hence, difference between the two percentage= 36000

Therefore, 66X/100- 34x/100= 36000

=> 32x/100 = 36000

=> X= 36000×100/32

=> 112500 votes (Ans)
