Question

In an election, the winning candidate won by 15% votes. If a total of 5,000 votes were cast of which only 86% were eligible, then how many votes did the winning candidate get?

Answer 1

Answer:

2795 votes

Explanation:

total votes=5000

but 86% votes is eligible out of 5000

so,

5000*86/100

50*86

4300

now 15%vote get extra of winning candidate

so total % of votes of winning candidate=50+15=65%

now,

4300*65/100

43*65

2795

hence the vote of winning candidate is 2795
