Question

in an election 55000 votes are cast out of them 0.5% votes were declared invalid the winning candidate scored 56% of the total votes how many votes did the winning candidate get​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of votes cast = 55000

Number of votes invalid = 0.5% of 55000

=0.5/100 of 55000

=5/1000 of 55000

=275

So, number of valid votes = 55000 - 275

= 54725

Now, number of votes the winning candidate got = 56% of 54725

=56/100 of 54725

=30646

So,number of votes the winning candidate got =30646

 

Answer 2

Answer:

Given, total votes=55000

Invalid votes=0.5%

%age of winner=56%

Sol^n. =no. Of votes invalid =55000/100*0.5

=275 votes

Total votes valid =55000-275=54725

No. Of votes got by winner =54725/100*56

=30646 voted

Therefore no. Of votes got by winner is 30646 votes.
