Question

Two candidates contested an election. One candidate secured 53% of the votes polled and won the election by a margin of 5700 votes. Find the total number of votes polled. answer is not 10755

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total votes be x

5700/x = 53%

5700/x = 53

53x = 5700

x = 5700/53

x = 107.4

hence the total number of votes shouldnt be decimal and it is absolutely wrong .
