Question
In an election between two contestants M and N, 10% of the
votes were not valid. M received 52% of the valid votes. If N received 22,032 valid votes, determine the total number of votes.Solution
ATQ,
Let the total number of votes be 100n
Valid votes = 0.90 × 100n = 90n
Valid votes received by N = 0.48 × 90n = 43.2n
So, 43.2n = 22,032
⇒ n = 510
Therefore, total number of votes = 510 × 100 = 51,000
