In an election between two candidates, 10% f the voters in the voter list did not cast their vote, whereas 10% of the votes cast were found to be invalid. The winning candidate got 56% of the valid votes and won the election by a margin of 1,458 votes. What is the total number of voters enrolled in the voter list?
14,000
15,000
16,000
13,000
Let's break down the information:
- 10% of the voters did not vote.
- 10% of the votes cast were invalid.
- Winning candidate got 56% of the valid votes.
- Margin of victory was 1,458 votes.
Let's calculate starting from:
- Assume total voters = x.
- Votes cast = 90% of x.
- Valid votes = 90% of votes cast = 81% of x.
The winning candidate got 56% of valid votes, which is 0.56×0.81x.
The losing candidate got 0.44×0.81x.
The difference (margin) is given as 1,458:
0.56×0.81x−0.44×0.81x=1,458
0.12×0.81x=1,458
0.0972x=1,458
x=1,4580.0972=15,000
- Option 1: 14,000 does not satisfy the margin condition.
- Option 2: 15,000 satisfies all conditions.
- Option 3: 16,000 exceeds the needed total.
- Option 4: 13,000 is below the needed total.
Therefore, the total number of voters enrolled in the voter list is Option 2: 15,000.
