Answer:

(a)100,000

(b)53,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let the total votes be x.

Given 31% of x=31000

31 \times \frac{x}{100}

= 31000

x= 100 000

So,total votes are =100,000

_________________________________

(b)

Winning  \: candidate \:  got    = \frac{53 \times 100000}{100}

=53,000

Winning margin =53000−31000=22000.

=22000

Therefore, the Winning margin is 22000.

Question:

In an election, there were only two candidates for the post of president. The winning candidate got 53% of the total votes. His opponent got 31000 votes which represented 31% of the total votes. Find (a) the number of votes and (b) the winning margin.

Answer:

22000

step by step explanation:

Let the total votes be x.

Given 31% of x = 31000

=  > 31 \times  \frac{x}{100}

=  > 31000

x  = 100000

So, Total votes are = 100000

Winning candidate got

=  > 53\% \: of \: 100000

=  >  \frac{53}{100}  \times 100000

(you can cancel the zeros near hundred and also 2 zeros near lakh)

=  >  \frac{53}{1}  \times 1000

=  > 53000

Winning margin

= 53000 - 31000

= 22000

•°• The winning margin is 22000
