Explanation:
Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080
Let the total number of votes be x.
8x = 108000
x = 13,500
Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.

Explanation:
Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.
70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10
Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10
Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172
=> 4V = 1720 => V = 430.
