Answer 1

Answer:

42000

Step-by-step explanation:

Winning candidate gets 60% of the votes and the other gets 40 %

Difference = 20% = 14000 votes

therefore, total number of votes = 14,000 * (100/20) = 70,000

Therefore number  of votes winning candidate got = 70,000 * 60 / 100

                                                                                       = 42,000
