Question

Two candidates fought an election. One got 35% of the votes and lost by 150 votes. Find the total number of votes.

Answer 1

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

let total votes=x

second candidate get 100-35=65%

vote difference =65-35=30%

30% of x is 150

30*x/100=150

x=150*100/30

x=15000/30

x=500
