Answer:

73649 of 80000 (or 91.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Note</u>:  An <u>electorate</u> is a person who is <u>entitled to vote</u> in an election - it does not necessarily mean they <u>have</u> voted in the election.

If 36000 votes represents 45% of the <em>electorate </em>(note: it does not say this figure represents 45% of the <em>votes</em>), then the total number of electorates is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{45}\times 100=80000

If three candidates received 25%, 20% and 6% <u>of the votes</u>, then the winning candidate received:

⇒ 100% - 25% - 20% - 6% = 49% of the votes

If the winning candidate received 36,000 votes, then:

⇒ 49% of the votes = 36,000 votes

Therefore, the total number of votes is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{49}{ \times 100=73469

To find the percentage of electorates that voted:

\implies \sf \dfrac{73469}{80000} \times 100=91.8\% \:\: (1\:d.p.)

Let's see

Total votes be x

  • 45% of x=3600
  • 0.45x=3600
  • x=3600/0.45
  • x=8000

Now total percentage of vote

  • 45+20+25+6=96%

Not voted=4%

Find not voted

  • 0.04(8000)
  • 320

Total voted

  • 8000-320
  • 7680

Given: circle k(O), m<br> LM<br> = 164°<br> m<br> WK<br> = 68°, m∠MLK = 65°<br> Find: m∠LMW
Semenov [28]

Let P be a point outside the circle such that triangle LMP has legs coincident with chords MW and LK (i.e. M, W, and P are colinear, and L, K, and P are colinear). By the intersecting secants theorem,

m\angle LPM=\dfrac{m\widehat{LM}-m\widehat{WK}}2\impliesm\angle LPM=48^\circ

The angles in any triangle add to 180 degrees in measure, and \angle MLK\congruent\angle MLP and m\angle LMW=m\angle LMP, so that

m\angle MLK+m\angle LPM+m\angle LMP=180^\circ

\implies\boxed{m\angle LMW=67^\circ}
