Question

In an election between two persons ,68 votes were declared in valid .the winning person got52% and won by 98 votes . find the total no. Of votes polled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total votes = X

%of valid votes=52%

%of votes to defeated candidate=(100-52)=48%

Difference between votes = 354 votes

(52/100*x)-(48/100*x)=354

(52-48)x/100 =354

4x/100=354

4x=354*100

X=354*100/4=8850

Total votes = valid votes+invalid votes

Total votes = 8850+68

" " = 8918votes
