Question

In an election there were only 2 candidate.the winner passed 53% of votes won by 9600 votes.find the total number by votes passed

Answer 1

winner get 53% vote
so defetant get 47% (100-53)
additional vote get by winner = 6%
total vote polled = 9600×100/6 = 160000
vote polled to winner = 160000×53/100 = 84800

Answer 2

Answer:

160000

Step-by-step explanation:

Winner got 53% vote

So defendant got votes = 100%-53% = 47%

Additional vote got by winner = 6%

Let the total votes be x

Since we are given that the winner won by 9600 votes

So,$6\% \times x = 9600$

$\frac{6}{100} \times x = 9600$

$x = 9600 \times \frac{100}{6}$

$x = 160000$

Thus the total number of votes passed is 160000
