Question

In an election the winning candidate got 320000 votes which represented 40% of the total votes. His only opponent got 24% of the total votes. Find the number of total votes and the number of persons who did not vote.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total votes be x

40%ofx=320000

(40/100)Xx=320000

4x=3200000

x=3200000/4

x=800000

Total votes is 800000

People didn't vote=100%-(40%+24%)

=100%-64%=36%

No of people didn't vote=36%of 800000

=36X8000= 288000
