- Party A received 37% of the total votes.

- Party A lost by 338 votes against Party B.

- Let's calculate:

- If A received 37% of votes, B received 63% because it's a two-party race.

- The difference in their votes: 63% - 37% = 26%.

- This 26% equals the margin of 338 votes.

- To find the total votes cast, we set up the equation: 0.26 * Total Votes = 338.

- Solving for Total Votes: Total Votes = 338 / 0.26 ˜ 1300.

- Option 1: 1300 is the correct match.
