Question
In an election between two candidates 'M' and 'N', 'M'
got 68% of the votes and won by 8,820 votes. Find the number of votes received by 'N'.Solution
Let the total votes be '100n'
Votes received by 'M' = 0.68 X 100n = '68n'
Votes received by 'N' = 100n - 68n = '32n'
So, 68n - 32n = 8,820
Or, 36n = 8,820
Or, 'n' = 245
Therefore, number of votes received by 'N' = 32 X 245 = 7,840
