Question
In a mayoral election, the candidate who got 68% of the
valid votes defeated his opponent by 2040 votes. How many votes did the opponent get?Solution
ATQ,
Let total valid votes = 100x
Winner's votes = 100x × 0.68 = 68x
Loser's votes = 100x - 68x = 32x
As per question,
68x - 32x = 2040
x = 2040 ÷ 36 = 56.66 ≈ 57
So, loser's votes = 32 × 57 = 1824
