Question

In an election Rahul, Ravi, and Vijay scored 8500 votes, 7600 votes and 3400 votes respectively and 500 votes were invalid. What was the percentage of votes scored by each candidate and what percentage of votes were invalid?

Answer 1

Votes scored by:-

Rahul = 8500

Ravi = 7600

Vijay = 3400

Invalid votes = 500

Total votes = 8500+7600+3400+500
= 20000

% of Rahul = (8500/20000) × 100

= 42.5%

% of Ravi = (7600/20000) × 100

= 38%

% of Vijay = (3400/20000) × 100

= 17%

% of Invalid votes = (500/20000) × 100

= 2.5%

Hope it helps.
