in an election a candidate who gets 60 % of the votes is elected by a majority of 1504 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 - 60 ) % of x = 40 % of x 60 % of x - 40 % of x = 1504 20 x / 100 = 1504 x = 1504 * 100 / 20 = 7520 answer is d
divide(1504, divide(subtract(60, subtract(const_100, 60)), const_100))
