In this question there is a small trick that needs to be understood. Basically the ratio in the question is given as a decimal. It can be expressed as a ratio as well. Ratio of students that voted for winner to the total number of voters = 95:100 The total number of students that voted = 60 Let us assume the common ratio to be = x then 100x = 60 x = 60/100 = 0.6 Then The number of votes that the winner got = 95 * 0.6 = 57 So 57 students voted for the winning candidate.
