In an election, the winning candidate received 15744 votes, which are 48% of the electorate. The only other candidate received 22% of the electorate. What is the number of members who did NOT vote ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Number of member who did not cast their vote = (100% - 48% - 22%) of total votes = 30% of total votes
ATQ ,
48% of Total number of votes = 15744
Total number of votes = \(\frac{100}{48}\) × 15744
Total number of votes = 32800
Number of member who did not cast their vote = \(\frac{100}{48}\) × 32800
= 9840
