Answer 1

Answer:

16,000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent of votes for Raman = 45%

Percent of votes for Rajan = 55%

Difference = 10%

Number of votes Raman lost to = 1600 votes

10% = 1600 votes

Total votes cast in the election = 10% x 10 = 100%

1600 votes x 10 = 16,000 votes

Therefore, the total votes cast in the election = 16,000 votes
