Let the number of persons eligible to vote be x. Then, voters who voted for A = 30% of x. Voters who voted for B = 60% of (70% of x). = 42% of x =(60100∗70100∗100)% of x = 42% of x. Voters who did not vote = [100 - (30 + 42)]% of x = 28% of x. ∴ 30% of x - 28% of x= 1200 => 2% of x= 1200 => x = {1200 X (100/2)} =60000.Related questions
