Question

In an election, there are a total of 80,000 voters and two candidates, A and B. 80% of the voters go to the polls out of which 60% vote for A. How many votes does B get.

Answer 1

Member of voters = 80,000

Total vote polled = 80% of 80,000 = 80/100 x 80,000 = 64,000

Vote polled to A = 60% of 64,000 = 60/100 x 64000 = 38,400

Vote polled to B = Total vote polled – vote polled to A = 64,000 – 38,400 = 25,600
