Answer:
total population = 120000
Step-by-step explanation:
total population =100%
20% votes not casted, 80% remaining
IN 80% ,
15% invalid = 68% valid remaining
TOTAL ratio = 3+4+5 = 12 parts
5 parts = 34000
12 parts = 81600 which is 68% of valid votes,
68 % = 81600
100% = X
APPLY CROSS MULTIPLICATION METHOD,
X = 1,20,000
