Let’s break down the problem step by step:

- Let total enrolled voters = x.

- 85% voters cast their vote, so votes cast = 0.85x.

- 4% of votes cast are invalid, so valid votes = 0.96 × 0.85x = 0.816x.

- One candidate got 6936 votes, which is 85% of valid votes, so valid votes = 6936 / 0.85 = 8160.

- Setting up the equation: 0.816x = 8160 ? x = 8160 / 0.816 = 10,000.

Checking options:

- Option 1 (10,500):

- Option 2 (10,800):

- Option 3 (10,000):

- Option 4 (10,700):

The correct answer is option 3: 10,000.
