Question
In a school election for the
position of president, two students were competing. Among the eligible voters, 80% participated by casting their votes. Of these cast votes, 5% were marked as invalid. One of the candidates secured 9975 votes, which accounted for 75% of the total valid votes. Determine the total number of eligible voters.Solution
ATQ,
Let number of eligible voters be ‘100y’ Number of eligible voters who cast their votes = 0.80 × 100y = ‘80y’ Total number of valid votes = 0.95 × 80y = ‘76y’ ATQ, 76y × 0.75 = 9975 Or, y = 175 Therefore, total number of eligible voters = 100y = (100 × 175) = 17500
