paul wins the election by 4 votes over peter.peter ended up with 4 vote lead over charles.if paul gots 8% votes more than charles,how many votes where plled in the election?

• 312
  
  Let the votes got be Charles=x, Peter=x+4 and Paul=x+8
  % difference of Paul and Charles votes=(x+8 - x)*100/x = 8
  x=100
  So, the votes of Charles, Peter and Paul are 100, 104 & 108 respectively.
  Therefore total votes polled=312
