If A won candidate score 77%

Defeated candidate score -

$\sf \\ \\\implies (100\%-77\%)$

According to the Question,

$\sf \\ \\\implies 77\%-23\%=2160$

$\sf \\ \\\implies 54\%=2160$

$\sf \\ \\\implies 1\%= \dfrac{2160}{54}$

$\sf \\ \\\implies 1\%= 40$

Now, We know the value of 1% is 40

So,

$\sf \\ \\\implies 100\%=2160\times \dfrac{100}{54}\\ \\\\\implies 4000$

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer:-}$

- 4000 votes

Further Explanation

According to the given question there are 77 votes of the candidate and here

we have to find the vote of casts.

So,

$100 \: percentage\: - 70 \: percentage$

$77 \: percentage - 70 \: percentage$

$54 \: percentage = 2160$

$1 \: percentage = \frac{54}{2160}$

$1 \: percentage = 40$

$so....1 \: percentage \: of \: 4$

$= 100 \: percentage = 2160 \times \frac{54}{100} = 4000$

Therefore, total number of votes = -4000
