Answer 1

ques is incomplete
we have to find
(a) the no. of votes polled.
(b)the winning margin

a) 34% of total votes = 6800

      let the total votes be y

      so, 34% of y = 6800

             34/100 *  y  = 6800

                     y = 6800 * 100 /34

                      y = 20000 votes

b) 48 % of total votes = 48% of 20000

                                       = 48 /100 * 20000

                                       = 9600 votes

therefore the winning margin is 9600 - 6800 = 2800 votes
