Answer:
Hello There,
This is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of votes be x.
( 30 / 100 ) × x = 27000
x = 27000 × 100 / 30
x = 90000
Therefore, the total number of votes is 90,000.
( 58 / 100 ) × 90000 = Winning Margin
58 × 900
= 52,200
Therefore, Winning Margin is 52,200
HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS YOU!!!
