Answer 7

56000 is 70% of the votes
56000 / 70 gives what 1% is equal too
56000/70 * 100 gives the total votes that can be cast

Answer 8

A 70 %
B 15 %
C = 100 - 70 - 15
C = 15
56000/70 * 15

Answer 9

56, 000 = 0.7 (70%)
56,000/0.7 = 80,000 total people in the electorate

Other candidate got 0.15*80,000 = 12,000 votes
Total people who voted is
56,000 (winning candidate)
12,000 (other candidate)

80,000 - 56,000 - 12,000 = 12,000 remaining people who did not vote.
