Answer:
23,200
Step-by-step explanation:
percentage of vote in favor of Azeem = 42
Since total percentage is 100
and Hamza got remaining percentage points
it can be calculated by subtracting Azeem's percentage of vote from total percentage
mathematically we have
percentage of vote in favor of Hamza = total percentage of vote - percentage of vote in favor of Azeem = 100 - 42 = 58
Therefore Hamza got 58% votes
Total no of votes cast as given in problem = 40,000
Vote for Hamza = 58% of total votes = 58% of 40000
=>Vote for Hamza = (58/100) * 40000 = 23,200.
Votes obtained by hamza is 23,200
