      Question

      In a company board election, contestant R managed to get

      66% of the vote share and defeated contestant S by 7,260 votes. Calculate how many votes S received.
      A 8,212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 7,718 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6,558 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,
      Let total votes = 100n

      Votes for R = 66n

      Votes for S = 100n - 66n = 34n

      66n - 34n = 7,260

      ⇒ 32n = 7,260

      ⇒ n = 227

      Votes received by S = 34 × 227 = 7,718
