a candidate got 30 % of the votes polled and he lost to his rival by 1760 votes . how many votes were cast ?
"let x be the total number of votes . 0.3 x + 1760 = 0.7 x 0.4 x = 1760 x = 1760 / 0.4 = 4400 the answer is e ."
divide(1760, subtract(subtract(const_1, divide(30, const_100)), divide(30, const_100)))
