Question

3/5 of the voters promised to vote for X and the rest promised to vote for Y. Of these, on the last day, 15% of the voters went back of their promise to vote for X and 25% of voters went back of their promise to vote for Y and X won by 22 votes. Then, the total number of votes for X are ________.

Answer 1

3/5th small change

Answer 2

In these questions the hard part is to construct equations
X-Y=22 from the last sentence

3/5 All voted for X but 25% left
25/100=1/4
3/5*1/4=3/20 or 15% of all

On the other hand
2/5 voted for Y and 15%left
2/5*3/20=6/100 6 % of all


Lets sum up this:
60% voted for X but 15% left
40% voted for Y but 6%left

60-15+6=51%
40-6+15=49%

51% of all votes - 49% of all votes are equal 22
2%of all votes are 22 people
All votes given 22*50=1100
51%of 1100=561

Answer 3

561 is total votes

Answer 4

Then, the total number of votes for X are ________

Answer 5

51

Answer 6

1100 are the total votes

Answer 7

561 is the answer

Answer 8

no its wrong

Answer 9

Lets check
2/5 of 1100= 440
3/5 of 1100= 660

25% of 660= 660/4=165
15% of 440= 66

440+165-66= 539
660+66-165= 561

Answer 10

And 561-539=22
So I am correct

Answer 11

something went wrong

Answer 12

total 100

Answer 13

You are just throwing numbers now.

Answer 14

x=60*.85=51
y=40*.75=30

Answer 15

51+30=81 what happened with the 19 other voters? Poor voters couldnt make it to the booth :(

Answer 16

x=51+10=61

Answer 17

y=30+9

Answer 18

x=61,y=39

Answer 19

60 voted for X 15 left
40 voted for Y 6 left

60-15+6=51
40-6+15=49

Difference is 2

Answer 20

Again you do not really do maths

Answer 21

Just throwing in some random numbers you should leave to politicians.

Answer 22

then x-y=22,in ur answer it is x-y=2

Answer 23

In your answer it is 2

Answer 24

u said difference is 2

Answer 25

x=61,y=39 that is the number you throw in without any maths.
So that means total voters =100

According to the question:
60 voted for X 15 left
40 voted for Y 6 left

60-15+6=51
40-6+15=49

Difference is 2

Answer 26

2%of all votes are 22 people All votes given 22*50=1100 51%of 1100=561.how 2% of all votes is 22.then how u multiplied 50 with 22 i cant understand

Answer 27

2%=2/100=1/50
so
100 % is 50*2%
