Question
In an election with two candidates, the winner secured
66% of the total valid votes and defeated the opponent by a margin of 1,440 votes. Your task is to determine how many valid votes the losing candidate received.Solution
Let the total number of valid votes cast = '100x' Then, number of valid votes received by the winning candidate = 100x X 0.66 = '66x' Number of valid votes received by the loser candidate = 100x - 66x = '34x' According to the question, 66x - 34x = 1440 Or, x = 1440 ÷ 32 = 45 So, number of valid votes received by the loser candidate = 34 X 45 = 1530
