Answer 2

Answer:

Winner win election by 3608 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

One candidate got votes = 72%

Other candidate got votes = 100%- 72 % = 28%

So, The winner must be the candidate who got 72% votes

Total votes =8200

No. of votes of winner candidate = $72\% \times 8200$

                                                      = $\frac{72}{100} \times 8200$

                                                      = $5904$  

No. of votes of loser candidate = $28\% \times 8200$

                                                      = $\frac{28}{100} \times 8200$

                                                      = $2296$  

Difference in votes = 5904-2296

                                =3608

Hence winner win election by 3608 votes.
