Practicing Success
In an election between two candidates, the defeated candidate secured 42% of the valid votes polled and lost the election by 7,68,400 votes. If 82,560 votes were declared invalid and 20% people did NOT cast their vote, then the invalid votes were what percentage (rounded off to 1 decimal place) of the votes which people did NOT cast? |
10.6 Percent 9.8 Percent 12.9 Percent 6.8 Percent |
6.8 Percent |
Percentage of total valid votes that winning candidate secured = (100 - 42) = 58% = 4802500 = 6.8%(approx) |
