cast thcir votes and 2200 votes were found invalid and suc-
cessful candidate got 60% of valid votes and won by ma-
jority of 3520 votes. What is the total number of voters in
voter list.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of voters be x.

As 10% of the voters did not cast their votes

Then, Votes polled =90% of x.

10% of the votes polled were found invalid

Valid votes =90% of (90% of x).

54% of [90% of (90% of x)]−46% of [90% of (90% of x)]=1620

=>8% of [90% of (90% of x)]=1620

⇒

100

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of voters as x

100%-10%=90%

90%of x

100%-60%=40%

{60%90%of (90%of x)}-{40%(90%of(90%of x)}=2200+3520=5720

=>20%of {90% of (90%of x)}

=20/100x90/100x90/100of x= 5720

=x =5720x100x100x100 divide by 90x90x20

=x= 5720000000 divide by 162000

=x approximately 35309
