Answer 1

Answer: 4620 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 42000 eligible voters and 55% cast votes

Now 55% of 42000 is 23100

So 23100 people cast votes

out of these A got 37% and B got 43%

So A and B combined got 37% + 43%   =   80%

so C got 100% - 80%  = 20% of 23100 votes

This means that C got 4620 votes
