Percentage Practice Test 5 with solutions

Total number of voters = 1,04,000
Percentage of invalid votes = 2%
Number of invalid votes $=1,04,000\times \frac{2}{100}=2,080$
Total number of valid votes = 1,04,000 - 2,080 = 1,01,920 votes.
Let the total number of valid votes polled = x
According to the statement,
55% of x = 1,01,920
$\mathit{x}=1,01,920\times \frac{100}{55}$
$\mathit{x}=56,056$
The number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate is equal to 56,056.
