Question

Two Candidates A&B Contested an election. Total votes polled were 9500. If A got 56% votes, how many votes were recieved by B?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of votes received by Candidate B = 4180

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of votes polled = 9500

Percentage of votes received by Candidate A = 56%

Number of votes received by Candidate A =

$\frac{56}{ \cancel 100} \ \times \cancel 9500$

Number of votes received by Candidate A = 5320

Number of votes received by Candidate B = Total number of votes polled - Number of votes received by Candidate A

Number of votes received by Candidate B = 9500 - 5320

Number of votes received by Candidate B = 4180
