Answer 1

Hello !

_____________________________

Let the total votes be 's' .


According to question,

77% of total votes = 2160

= 77% x s = 2160

= 77/ 100 x s = 2160

= s = 2160 x 100 / 77

= s = 216000 / 77

= s = 2805 (approx)


Therefore, 2805 total votes were cast.

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,

100percentage−70percentage

77percentage−70percentage

54percentage=2160

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

1percentage=40

so....1 percentage of 4 so....

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

Therefore, total number of votes = -4000
