In a certain city, 60% of the registered voters are congress supporters and the rest are BJP supporters. In an assembly election, if 75% of the registered congress supporters and 20% of the registered BJP supporters are expected to vote for candidate A, what percent of the registered voters are expected to vote for candidate A?

• let the people in the city be x
  60% are congress=60% of x
  40% are BJP=40% of x
  out of 60%,75% voted for congress=75%(60% of x)=18x/40
  out of 40%,20% voted for congress=20%(40% of x)=8x/100
  total=18x/40+8x/100=106x/200
  total percent=106x/200*100=53% of x

• let there is 100 reg voter
  then 60 voters of congress and 40 bjp voters.
  then from 60 voters 75% give vote to a so it is 45
  then from 40 voters 20% give vote to a so it is 8
  so sum is 45+8=53 people from 100 people so answer is 53%

• The question is very simple.
  let 'x' be the no of registered voters.
  60% of x support congress = 0.6x support congress
  remaining bjp
  which means, (x-0.6x)=0.4x are bjp supporters
  75 % of registered congress supporters means 75% of(0.6x)
  = 0.75(0.6x)=0.45 x
  20% of registered bjp supporters means 20% of (0.4x)
  =0.2(0.4x)=0.08x
  these both are xpected to vote for candidate A
  so sum them up
  0.45+0.08 = 0.53
  which is 53%
  is the correct answer
  
  any doubt please leave a comment

• Let, total voters=100
  60% voters are congress supporters.=> 60 votes.
  so, 100-60=40 voters for bjp.
  75%of congress+20% of bjp=(75/100)*60+(20/100)*40.
  =>45+8=53.
  So, 53% registered voters will vote for candidate A.

• let x are correct and (26-x) questions are wrong
  8*x+ (-5)*(26-x) = 0
  on solving we get
  x = 10
