a/q
77%-23%=2160
54%=2160
1%=2160/54
100%=2160×100/54=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,

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
