In an election between two candidates, a candidate who gets 72% of votes is elected by a majority of 572 votes. Find the total number of the votes polled. (assuming all votes are valid)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
(72 - 28)% of total polled votes = 572
44% of total polled votes = 572
Total polled votes = \(\frac{572}{44}\) × 100 = 1300
