In an election between two candidates the winner gets 55% of the valid votes and wins by 2,000 votes. What is the total number of valid votes?

  • A18,000
  • B20,000
  • C22,000
  • D25,000
Correct answer: B

Explanation

The winning margin is 55% − 45% = 10% of the valid votes, so 10% = 2,000 and the total is 20,000.
