Question:
An election was contested by two candidates. The winning candidate received 6872403 votes and won by a margin of 983516 votes. How many votes did the other candidate received?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5888887

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the votes of other candidate be x

Votes won by first candidate = 6872403

Won by how much votes = 983516

∴ No. of votes other candidate had = x + 983516

x + 983516 = 6872403

x = 6872403 - 983516

x = 5888887

∴ No. votes received  by other candidate is 5888887.
