    Question

    In a mayoral election, candidate P got 75% of the total

    votes, winning over candidate Q by 9,600 votes. What is the number of votes secured by candidate Q?
    A 3,212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4,116 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2,558 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let total votes = 100n

    Votes for P = 75n

    Votes for Q = 100n - 75n = 25n

    75n - 25n = 9,600

    ⇒ 50n = 9,600

    ⇒ n = 192

    Votes received by Q = 25 × 192 = 4,800
