Answer 2

$Let \: Total \: number \:of \:votes = x$

$Number \: votes \: looser \: get = 40\% \:of \:x$

$Number \: votes \: winner \: get = 60\% \:of \:x$

/* According to the problem given */

$60\% \:of \: x - 40\% \: of \:x = 100$

$\implies 20\% \:of \: x = 100$

$\implies 20\%\times x = 100$

$\implies \frac{20}{100} \times x = 100$

$\implies \frac{x}{5} = 100$

$\implies x = 100 \times 5$

$\implies x = 500$

Therefore.,

$\red{Total \: number \:of \:votes} \green { = 500}$
