in an election a candidate who gets 84 % of the votes is elected by a majority of 476 votes . what is the total number of votes polled ?
"let the total number of votes polled be x then , votes polled by other candidate = ( 100 - 84 ) % of x = 16 % of x 84 % of x - 16 % of x = 476 68 x / 100 = 476 x = 476 * 100 / 68 = 700 answer is b"
divide(476, divide(subtract(84, subtract(const_100, 84)), const_100))
