In an election between two candidates, 85% of the voters cast their votes, out which 4% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 6936 votes which were 85% of the valid votes. Find the total number of voters enrolled in that election. |
10,500 10,800 10,000 10,700 |
10,000 |
According to question , 85% of valid votes = 6936 Total number of valid votes = \(\frac{6936}{85}\)× 100 = 8160 Let total number of Cast votes = 100x Valid votes = 96% of 100x = 96x And 96x = 81600 100x = \(\frac{8160}{96}\)× 100 = 8500 Now , Total cast votes = 85% of Total Number of Votes As 85% of total votes = 8500 100% of total votes = \(\frac{8500}{85}\)× 100 = 10000 |
