In an election held in a town, the voting percentage was 83.33%. The winner got 33.33% of the polled votes, while the runner-up got 22.22% of the polled votes. If there were 108054 voters in the town, by how many votes did the winner win the election? Correct Answer 10005

Given:

In an election held in a town, the voting percentage was 83.33%.

The winner got 33.33% of the polled votes, while the runner-up got 22.22% of the polled votes.

There were 108054 voters in the town.

Formula used:

Percentage = (value/total value) × 100

Calculation:

Total no. of voters = 108054

Voting percentage = 83.33%

No. of votes = 83.33% of 108054

⇒ 5/6 × 108054

⇒ 90045

Now,

Percentage of votes received by winner = 33.33%

Percentage of votes received by runner-up = 22.22%

Percentage of votes by which the winner won = 33.33 – 22.22

⇒ 11.11%

No. of votes by which the winner won the election = 11.11% of 90045

⇒ 1/9 × 90045

⇒ 10005

∴ 10005 votes the winner win in the election.
