Question

in an election the winning candidate received 48000 votes which represent 60 percent of the electorate . the other candidate secured votes from 25 percent of the electorate . calculate the number of electorate

Answer 1

the total number of electorates is 80000

Answer 2

solution,
let first(winning)candidate be A.
and,
other(secured)candidate be B.
then according to the question,

A received 60% of votes is 48000.

let X be the total number of electorate.

so,
60% of x is 48000.
$\frac{60}{100} \times x = 480000$

$x= \frac{48000\: \times 100}{60 }$
$x = \frac{480000}{6}$
so,

x=80,000.

so,the number of electorate is 80,000.

hope this help u my buddy.......:)
