Question

In an election between two candidates A and B, A won over B with 10% of the

qualified votes. What is the percentage of total votes secured by B, if 20% of the polled

votes were disqualified?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the percentage of total votes give to B be 'x'%

therefore, A got x+10%

thus, 20% of votes which are polled become disqualified

A's vote+ B's vote + polled votes= 100%

(x+10)%+ x% + 20% = 100%

x% + 10% + x% = 80%

2x% = 70%

x% =35%

thus, total percentage of votes secured by B is 35%
