Question
In a school election between two contestant’s 'A' and
'B', 'A' secured 62% of the total votes and won by 7,440 votes. Find how many votes 'B' got.?Solution
ATQ,
Let the total votes be '100n'
Votes received by 'A' = 0.62 × 100n = '62n'
Votes received by 'B' = 100n - 62n = '38n'
So, 62n - 38n = 7,440
Or, 24n = 7,440
Or, 'n' = 310
Therefore, number of votes received by 'B' = 38 × 310 = 11,780
