veters enrolled in that election was?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with 75% of the votes that the candidate got.

First, find the total number of valid votes casted:

75% = 9261 votes

1% = 9281 ÷ 75 = 123.48 votes

100% = 123.48 x 100 = 12348 votes

There were 2% votes that were not valid.

Now, find the total number of votes casted:

98% = 12348 votes

1% = 12348 ÷ 98 = 126

100% = 126 x 100 = 12600

Only 75% cast their votes.

Finally find the total number of voters:

75% = 12600

1% = 12600 ÷ 75 = 168

100% = 168 x 100 = 16800

Answer: There were 16800 voters
