In a college election, two candidates competed. One
candidate secured 62% of the total votes and won the election by a margin of 1,020 votes. Assuming all votes were valid, what percentage of the total votes received by the losing candidate corresponds to the total votes obtained by the winning candidate?Solution
ATQ, 62/100 * x – 38/100 * x = 1020 0.24x = 1020 x = 4250 Total votes got by other candidate = 38/100 * 4250 = 1615 Total votes got by winning candidate = 62/100 * 4250 = 2635 Required % = 1615/2635 * 100 = 61.2%
