Question
Two people contested in a council election. One of them
secured 64% of the total valid votes and won by 1280 votes. Find out how many valid votes the runner-up got.Solution
ATQ,
Let total valid votes = 100x
Winner's votes = 100x × 0.64 = 64x
Loser's votes = 100x - 64x = 36x
Given,
64x - 36x = 1280
x = 1280 ÷ 28 = 45.71 ≈ 46
So, loser's votes = 36 × 46 = 1656
