The difference between 31% and 26% of votes for the same party at different places is 2350. What is 7% of those votes?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3290.
The difference between the percentages = 31% - 26% = 5%
Let the total number of votes = x
So, 0.05x = 2350
⇒ x = 2350/0.05 = 47000
⇒ 0.07x = 0.07 × 47000 = 3290
Therefore, 7% of those votes is 3290.
