Question

Two candidates A and B contested in an election.305 of the people did not vote. A received 64 percent of the votes polled. B received 6300 votes.find the number of people who voted for A.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let total votes be x

305 didn't vote

so remaining total polled votes= x-305

B receives 36% of the total polled which is 6300

so 36/100 ×(x -305)= 6300

x -305= 700×100/4

x -305= 700×25

x= 17500-305

x=17195

so A received= 17195×64/100

A=11004.8

or A=11005 votes
