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

How many ways can six friends be arranged around a circular dinner table?
Mice21 [21]
A question such as this one is a little tricky since the people seated are not in a straight line. 

For a circular table seating question, (n-1)! formula is used. Without restrictions 5! people can be seated. 

You might be wondering why it is not 6!, this is because the first person will the the 6 person so you are accounting for the same person twice. 

Hope I helped :)
