Question
In an election between two candidates, the candidate who
received the most votes secured 58% of the total votes and won by a margin of 4,000 votes. How many votes did the losing candidate receive?Solution
Let the total votes be '100p'.
Number of votes won by winning candidate = 0.58 X 100p = '58p'
Number of votes won by losing candidate = 100p - 58p = '42p'
So, 58p - 42p = 4,000
Or, 16p = 4,000
Or, 'p' = 250
Therefore, required number of votes = 42 x 250 = 10,500
