Question

there were only two candidates in an election one got 62% votes and was elected by margin of 144 votes the total number of voters were what

Answer 1

There were 600 voters

Answer 2

let total votes = 100%

two candidates
one get = 62%
so other get = 100%-62%=38%

according to question
62% - 38% = 144
24% = 144
1% = 144/24

total votes 100% = (144 × 100)/24
= 600

so total votes = 600
