Answer 1

Answer :-

• Hamza obtained 23200 votes.

Given :-

• In a town election, Azeem got 42% of the votes casted.

• Hamza got the remaining votes.

• The total number of votes casted is 40000.

To find :-

• The votes obtained by Hamza.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, we have to find the votes obtained by Hamza.

As Azeem got 42% of the votes casted,

• Therefore, the percentage of votes obtained by Hamza = 100% - 42% = 58%.

• The total number of votes casted is 40000.

Therefore,

• Hamza got 58% of 40000 votes.

-----------------------------------

Finding 58% of 40000 :-

$\longmapsto\sf58\% \: of \: 40000$

Converting 58% into fraction,

$\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{58}{100} \times 40000$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{58}{1} \times 400$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers since we can't reduce them anymore.

$\longmapsto\sf 58 \times 400$

Multiplying the numbers,

$\longmapsto\underline{\boxed{\sf 23200}}$

• So, Hamza obtained 23200 votes.
