In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes ?

Correct Answer: 13500

Explanation:

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

 

Let the total number of votes be x.

 

  54 x 100 - 46 x 100 = 1080

 

8x = 108000

 

x = 13,500

 

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.

Correct Answer: 338

Explanation:

We know that 40% =  2 5

 

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

 

2 5 x 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

 

We know that (35% of 180 = 180% of 35) & 180% =  9 5

 

2 5 x 265 +  9 5 x 35 = 50% ?

 

106 + 63 = 50% ?

 

?= 2 x 169 = 338.

Correct Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

Here to convert 0.125 into %

First convert to fractio

Multiply and divide by 1000

=>  0 . 125 x 1000 1000 = 125 1000 = 1 8

=> Now,  $$\begin{gathered} in percentage \\ 1 8 x 100 = 12 . 5 % \end{gathered}$$

Correct Answer: 2000

Explanation:

5% of 40,000  =  5 100 × 40 , 000 = 5 × 400 = 2 , 000  

 

Hence, 5% of 40,000 = 2,000.

Correct Answer: 32

Explanation:

Here 40% of 80 is given as

40 100 x 80 = 8 x 4 = 32

Correct Answer: 160

Explanation:

Let the number be n. Then,

50% of n - 35% of n = 24

50/100 n - 35/100 n = 24

n = (24 x 100)/15 = 160.

Correct Answer: 300

Explanation:

Let the number be 'N'
Given N + 30N/100 = 390
=> 130N/100 = 390
=> N = 390 x 10/13
=> N = 300.

Correct Answer: 23 1/3%

Explanation:

y=100 x=130

130---------30
100---------? => 23 1/3%

Correct Answer: 400

Explanation:

Let the total number of pages in the book be 'x'.

From given data,

2x/5 + 34x/100 + 52 + 52 = x

 => 40x + 34x + 10400 = 100x

 => 26x = 10400

 => x = 400.

 Hence, total pages in the book are 400.

Correct Answer: 80

Explanation:

Let marks obtained by N = x

M's marks = 0.80x

L's marks = 1.25 (0.80x)

K's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80x)

= 0.9x

But 0.9x = 360 ? x = 400

Percentage of Marks obtained by N

= 400 x 100/500 = 80%
