Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of votes = 6200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of voters be x.

Number of people who did not vote = 0.1x.

Rejected votes = 60

Number of votes of winner = 0.47x.

Number of votes of loser = x - (0.1x+60+0.47x)

                                                     = 0.43x - 60.

Majority of votes = 308.

0.47x - (0.43x - 60) = 308

0.04x = 248

x = 24800/4 = 6200.

Total number of votes = 6200.

No. of votes of winner = 0.47 * 6200 = 2914.

Not of votes of loser = 0.43*6200 - 60 = 2606
