Question

In an election between 2 persons ‘A’ and ‘B’, A wins by a margin of 500

votes, if A gets 60% of the total votes, find the total votes polled.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2500 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total votes polled=100x

A gets 60% =60x

Then votes of B=60x-500

Total votes of A and B

60x+60x-500=100x

120x-100x=500

20x=500

x=500/20=25

Thus Total votes polled

=100x=100*25

=2500
