Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total votes = 50,000
First candidate received 40% of the votes.
Second candidate received 35% of the votes.
Formula Used:
Percentage of votes received by the third candidate = 100% - (Percentage received by first candidate + Percentage received by second candidate)
Calculation:
Percentage of votes received by the third candidate:
100% - (40% + 35%) = 100% - 75% = 25%
Number of votes received by the third candidate:
(25 / 100) × 50,000 = 0.25 × 50,000 = 12,500
The number of votes received by the third candidate is 12,500.
