Question

two candidates fought an election. One of them got 62% of the total votes and won by 432 votes. what is the total number of the votes polled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of votes polled = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total vote polled be X

One candidate got votes = 62% of X = (62/100) × X = 0.62X

Thus, the other candidate got = X-0.62X = 0.38X votes

The first candidate won by 432 votes

Therefore,

0.62X - 0.38X = 432

or,  0.24X = 432

or, X = 432/0.24 = 1800

Therefore, total number of votes polled =1800

Hope this helps.
