Two candidates fought in a municipality election. One of them got 54% of the total votes pooled and won by 1080 votes. What was the total number of votes polled ?

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

  $\frac{54x}{100} - \frac{46x}{100} = 1080$

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.
