Answer 1

Answer:

34.28 % (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total votes = 1400

Invalid votes = 200

Valid votes = 1400-200 = 1200

Number of votes received by winner = 720

Therefore, number of votes received by looser = 1200-720 = 480

Therefore, percentage of votes received by loser = 480*100/1400 %

                                                                                      = 48000/1400 %

                                                                                      =34.28 %

Votes received by winner = 720

Therefore,

Votes received by loser = 480

$percentage \: of \: votes \: obtained \: \\ by \: loser = \frac{480}{1400} \times 100 \\ = \frac{480}{14} \\ = 34.28\%$
