Total number of votes = 600000
65% of the votes got valid ⇒ 600000 x 65/100 = 390000
8% of the total votes was declared invalid ⇒ 600000 x 8/100 = 48000
65% of the votes got valid ⇒ 600000 x 65/100 = 390000
8% of the total votes was declared invalid ⇒ 600000 x 8/100 = 48000

Hi ,
Let the total votes polled = x
Number of votes got the winner =
65% of x = 65x/100
Number of votes the loser got =
35% of x = 35x/100 ----( 2 )
According to the problem given ,
65x/100 - 35x/100 = 273
30x/100 = 273
x = ( 273 × 100 )/30
x = 910
Therefore ,
Total votes polled = x = 910
I hope this helps you.
