Step-by-step explanation:
30% of votes has got by defeated party
let defeated party be d
winning party be w
total no of votes be x
30x/100+15000=w
3x/10+15000=w
3x+150000/10=w
30x/100+(3x+150000)/10=x
3x/10+(3x+150000)/10=x
(6x+150000)/10=x
6x+150000=10x
150000=10x-6x
150000=4x
x=37500
total no.of votes=37500
☆w=3x+150000/10
=11250+150000/10
=262500/10
=26250
winning party get 26250 votes.
