Answer 1

Using the given information the equation would be
(58/100)*x=2560
Hence the total votes would be
X=2560*(100/58)
To solve
X=2560*(1.72)
1.72 is rounded to the second decimal place
Thus x= 4403 (rounded to closest unit)

Answer 2

Using the given information the equation would be
(58/100) * x = 2560

Hence the total votes would be
X = 2560 * (100/58)

Let's Solve

X = 2560 ( 1.72)
1.72 is rounded to the second decimal place.

Thus X = 4403 (rounded to closest unit).
