In an election between two candidates, 80% of the voters cast their votes, out of which 10% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9, 936 votes which were 60% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of voters enrolled in that election.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the total number of enrolled voters be X . Votes cast = 80% of X = 0.80 X Valid votes = 90% of votes cast (since 10% were invalid) Valid votes = 0.90 \times 0.80 X = 0.72 X The candidate got 60% of the total valid votes, which equals 9, 936 : 0.60 \times 0.72 X = 9936 0.432 X = 9936 X = \frac{9936}{0.432} = 23000 Thus, the total number of enrolled voters is 23, 000 .
