Answer:
23,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of votes cast is 40,000
Since Azeem got 42% of the votes casted, then the votes obtained by him would be;
= 42% × 40,000
= 16,800
To get the number of votes obtained by Hamza, we will subtract the votes obtained by azeem from the total votes casted since there are only two candidates in that town, hence number of votes obtained by Hamza would be;
= 40,000 - 16,800
= 23,200.
Therefore, the number of votes obtained by Hamza is 23,200
