Answer 1

Answer:

A) 16400 vote

B) 2800 vote

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

Opponent got 34 % and 6800 vote

Then,

34 % = 6800

1 % = 6800 / 34

1 % = 200

100 % = 200 * 100 = 20000

Then the total no. of voter = 20000

Winning candidate got 48 % of 20000 = ( 48 * 20000 ) / 100 = 9600 vote

A) Total no. of vote polled = 6800 + 9600 = 16400 vote

B) winning margin = 9600 - 6800 = 2800 vote
