votes were cast, what number of Votes did the third candidate go?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

335990

Step-by-step explanation:

Votes gained by 1st candidate = 288562

Votes gained by 2nd candidate = 191072

Votes gained by 3rd candidate = 815624 - (288562 + 191072)

                                                    = 815624 - 479634 = 335990

Answer 2

Answer:

3,35,990

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of votes first candidate got= 2,88,562

No. of votes second candidate got= 1,91,072

Total votes= 8,15,624

Let the number of votes third candidate got be x

then,

288562+191072+x=815624

479634+x=815624

x= 815624-479634

x=335990

Therefore, the no. of votes the third candidate got were 3,35,990.
