5000 voted in an election between two candidates.14% of the votes were invalid.The winner won by a margin approximately closer to 15%.Find the number of votes secured by the person

• 14% of 5000 = 700
  so valid votes =5000-700=4300
  let loser get x votes, so winner gets (x+3x/20)=23x/20 votes
  so x+23x/20=4300
  43x/20=4300
  x=2000
  23x/20 = 2300
  so winner get 2300 votes

• valid votes=0.86x5000=4300
  if loser gets=A
  winner gets=1.15A
  so, A+1.15A=4300
  therefore we get A=2000 & 1.15A=2300(winner)

• invalid votes are 14% - 700
  total polled votes = 4300
  loser got x votes
  winner got approximately x+ 15% 0f 4300
  then x+x+15% 4300= 4300
  2x+645=4300
  x=1827.5 is nearly equals to 1827
  looser got 1827
  winner got 1827+645+1=2473
  
  
  defeater got 1827 and winner get 2473 votes

• Of 5000 votes 14% are invalid i.e. 4300 votes are valid.
  => 4300/2= 2150 votes for both of them. As the winner won by a margin of 15%
  => 4300*(15/100) = 645. Therefore 2150+645= 2795.
  
  Ans: 2795 votes for winning candidate.

• 14%(5000)=700
  so the total valid votes=5000-700=4300
  consider loser votes be x
  then winner votes are x+15%(x)
  now the totalvalid votes== x+x+15%(x)=4300
  2.15x=4300
  x=2000(which is loser votes)
  now the winner votes are=4300-2000=2300(final answer)

• 5000-((14/100)*5000)=4300
  let loser gets x votes,let winner gets x+(15%x)
  total valid votes=4300
  x+x+15%x=4300
  x=2000 and winner gets 2300 votes

• invalid vootes are:14%of5000=700
  now no.of valid votes are:5000-700=4300
  no.of votes obtained by two parties:4300/2=2150
  the winning candidate gets 15%more votes so 4300*(15/100)=645.therefore 2150+645=2795.
  no.of votes secured by the winning person is 2795

• 14% of 5000 = 700
  so valid votes =5000-700=4300
  let loser get x votes, so winner gets (x+3x/20)=23x/20 votes
  so x+23x/20=4300
  43x/20=4300
  x=2000
  23x/20 = 2300
  so winner get 2300 votes

• Valid votes = 5000 * 86/100 = 50*86 = 4300
  Let num of votes got by winner = w. Votes got by the other person = 4300 ­- w
  w ­ (4300 - ­w) = 0.15 * 4300, w=2472.5 which is approximately 2473.

• 2795 votes as 14% invalid so 700 votes are not valid so remaining 4300 as winner got 15% more than loser so he got 65% of 4300 so 2795

• valid votes=0.86x5000=4300 (86%)
  if loser gets=p
  winner gets=1.15p
  so, total is A+1.15p=4300
  there4 we get p=2000 & 1.15p=2300(winner)

• 14%of 5000=700,so 700 votes r invalid so total valid votes is 4300, vote of winner + votes of loser =4300
  winner secure 15% more votes than the loser so,
  a be votes of loser
  1a+1.15a=4300,
  solving this we get a=2000
  so winner got 2300 votrs

• Invalid Votes = 14 % (5000) = 700
  Valid Votes = 5000 - 700 = 4300 = R (say)
  Assume the looser got 'L" votes and winner got "W" votes.
  W - L = 15% (R)
  W + L = R
  Solving we get W = 57.5% and L = 42.5%
  So Winner got 57.5%(4300) = 2472
