Answer 1

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
