Answer 2

Given,

The losing candidate favored by 38% of the votes

The losing candidate lost by 18924 votes

To Find,

The total number of valid votes =?

Solution,

Let the total number of votes be x

The number of votes the losing candidate gets = 38% of the x

The number of votes the losing candidate gets = 38x / 100

The number of votes the winning candidate gets =1 - 38x / 100

The number of votes the winning candidate gets =(100x - 38x) / 100

The number of votes the winning candidate gets = 62x / 100

According to the questions,

Difference between the number of the votes winning and losing candidates get = 18924

62x/100 - 32x/100 = 18924

(62x - 32x) /100 = 18924

30x / 100 = 18924

x = 18924 * (10 / 3)

x = 6308 * 10

x = 63080 votes

Hence, the total number of valid votes is 63080.
