Question

In an election, 68% of the voters exercised their franchise. Of these, 48% were
women. The number of males exercising their franchise was 53,040. How many
eligible voters were there in all?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let total number of eligible voters= x

Number of people who voted = (68/100)*x

Percentage of women of people who voted = 48 %

Therfore Percentage of men of people who voted = 52 %

(52/100)*(68/100)*x = 53040

=> (13/25)*(17/25)*x = 53040

=> x = 1,50,000

Alternatively , we can estimation here as 68 percent of people voted , and 52 % of the those voters were males .

So , approximately a little more than 34 percent of the total eligible people who voted were male . That is 53040 is approx a little more than one third the total number of voters.

Therefore , total number of voters can be estimated to be 1,50,000 .

Hope my answer helps you :))
