Question

two candidats contested an election one of them secured 58% votes and won the election by a margin of 2500 votes . how many votes were polled in

Answer 1

Answer:

15625

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Votes polled = V

58% votes = (58/100)*V = 0.58V

other received = V = 0.58V = 0.42 V

margin = 0.58V - 0.42V = 0.16V

0.16V = 2500

V = 2500/0.16

V = 15625
