Practicing Success
In an election between two candidates, Ravi gets 65% of total valid votes. If total votes were 6000, what is the number of valid votes that the other candidate Sushil gets, if 25% of total votes were invalid? |
1775 1625 1575 1525 |
1575 |
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) & 65% = \(\frac{13}{20}\) Total number of votes = 6000 Valid votes = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × 6000 = 4500 Votes of Ravi = 65% of 4500 = \(\frac{13}{20}\) × 4500 = 2925 So , Votes of Sushil = 4500 - 2925 = 1575 |
