Answer:
Total number of votes polled = 1800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total vote polled be X
One candidate got votes = 62% of X = (62/100) × X = 0.62X
Thus, the other candidate got = X-0.62X = 0.38X votes
The first candidate won by 432 votes
Therefore,
0.62X - 0.38X = 432
or, 0.24X = 432
or, X = 432/0.24 = 1800
Therefore, total number of votes polled =1800
Hope this helps.
