Answer 1

Answer:

ans is 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

one candidate got 55% of total votes and wins by 400 votes means the other candidate got 45% vote (100%-55%=45%)

so, (55%-45%=10%)

so, the difference between the votes of the two candidates is 10% and given is 400.

so, 10%votes = 400

1% vote = 400/10 = 40

100% vote = 40*100

= 4000 is the answer.

hope this will help you. thanks.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of total votes be ' x '

winner votes = 55% = 55%( x ) = 0.55x

losser votes = 45% ( 100 - 55 ) = 0.45x

winner won by 400 votes

=> 0.55x - 0.45x = 400

=> 0.1x = 400

=> x = 400/0.1

=> x = 4000
