Question

In an election, there were only 2 candidates. The winner won with 56% votes and 8400 votes. Find the votes polled

Please explain me in a detailed manner

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of votes polled be x.

Votes got by the winner candidate=56% of x

Votes got by the loser candidate=(100-56)% of x=44% of x

Difference between the votes got by the the winner candidate and the loser candidate=56%-44%=12%

According to the question, 12%ofx=8400

So, total votes polled=value of x=8400×100/12=70000

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, Total votes polled = 15,000
