Calculate (i) the number of votes cast in the village and (ii) the number of voters who did not vote for both the continents
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose there are x numbers of votes;
Pandian get = 11484 votes
which is 44% of the total votes = (44/100) = 0.44x = 11484;
x = 11484/0.44
x = 26100 total votes in the village
Thamarai get 36% of the votes = (36/100)x = 0.36x
= 0.36 * 26100
= 9396
Thamarai get 9396 votes
Now calculating the number of votes who did not vote for both the continents
26100 - 9396-11484 = 5220
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pandian secured 11,484 votes in the election which was 44 %
that means 11,484 is 44%, By unitary method we can find out total number of votes
44% = 11,484
100 % = 11,484 /44 × 100
So the total number of votes are 26,100
Thamarai secured votes 36 % of total votes
26,100 × 36 /100
= 9,396
(1) The number of votes cast in village = Number of votes of Pandian + Number of votes of Thamarai
= 11,484 + 9396
= 20,880
(2). Number of voters who didnot vote = Total number of votes - Number of votes cast in village
= 26100 - 20,880
= 5220.
