in an election involving two person 68 votes declared invalid.winning candidate secure 52% and win by 98 votes.total no of votes polled?

• Winner =52%
  looser= 48%
  let total vote = x
  so valid votes= x-68
  now difference in vote =4%
  so 4% of valid vote = 98 (winning Votes)
  4* (x-68)/100 =98
  solving for x = 2518 including invalid votes

• the invalid votes 68.let the total no of valid votes polled be x-68
  winning=valid votes-losing
  (52/100)*x=(x-68)-(48/100)*x
  [(48/100)*x+98]=(x-68)-(48/100)*x
  after solving we have
  x=4150
