Answer:
3000 votes
Step-by-step explanation:
here it is clear that the winner candidate gets 57% vote we can know this by minus the 43% from the total percent and we also know that they got defeated by 420 vote which means 420 is the winner and loser's difference in number so 57%-43%=14% and the 14% percent is their difference in percentage.
now let x be the total number of votes
14/100=420/x
(by cross multiplication)
14x=420×100
x=420×100÷14
x=3000
