Answer 1

⭐Answer⭐:

The total number of votes polled is 2,34,375.

⭐Step-by-step explanation⭐:

⭐Given⭐:

The percentage by which winner won the election = 52%

Margin by which the winner won the election is = 9375 votes

⭐To Find⭐:

Total number of votes polled

⭐Solution⭐:

Percentage of votes got to the looser = 100% - 52% = 48%

Let the total number of votes polled be 'x',

Equation formed:

(52% of x) - (48% of x) = 9375

⇒ ($\frac{52}{100}$ × x) - ($\frac{48}{100}$ × x) = 9375

⇒ $\frac{52x}{100} - \frac{48x}{100} = 9375$

⇒ $\frac{4x}{100} = 9375$

⇒ x = 9375 × $\frac{100}{4}$

⇒ 2,34,375

Total number of votes polled = 2,34,375

Hence, 2,34,375 is the total number of votes polled.
