Answer 1

750 votes the wining candidate get

Answer 2

Answer:

2300

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Votes = 5000

Eligible votes = 86% of total      

                     =$\frac{86}{100} \times 5000$

                     =$4300$

Now let no. of votes of loser team be x

Since we are given that the wining candidate won by 15% of votes.

So, Winning team votes = $x+\frac{15}{100}x$

So, A.T.Q

$x+x+\frac{15}{100}x=4300$

$\frac{215}{100}x=4300$

$x=4300 \times \frac{100}{215}$

$x=2000$

Loser team votes = 2000

So, Winning team votes = 4300-2000=2300

Hence wining candidate get 2300 votes.
