Question

In an election between 2 candidates, bhiku gets 65% of the total valid votes. if the total votes were 6000, what is the number of valid votes that the other candidate mhatre gets if 25% of the total votes were declared invalid ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\underline\bold {Answer:}$

Total votes = 6000

Invalid votes = 25% of 6000 = 0.25 × 6000

= 1500

Therefore valid votes = 6000 – 1500 = 4500

Bhiku gets 65% of the valid votes.

=> Mhatre gets 35% of the valid votes.

Therefore votes got by Mhatre = 35% of 4500

= 35/100 × 4500 = 1575.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total votes be 100

total votes -       100

(-) Invalid votes -  25

Valid votes  -       75

Total votes - 6,000

Valid votes = 6,000 x 75 % = 4500

Bhiku gets - 4500 x 65% - 2,925 valid votes

Mhatre gets - 4500 - 2925 = 1,575 Valid votes
