Q. In an election between two candidates, the winner received 55%55\% of the 17,00017,000 votes. The loser received the remaining votes. How many more votes did the winner receive than the loser?\newlineE. 500500\newlineF. 1,7001,700\newlineG. 3,0003,000\newlineH. 7,6507,650
  1. Calculate Winner's Votes: Calculate the number of votes the winner received.\newlineThe winner received 55%55\% of the total votes. The total number of votes is 17,00017,000.\newlineTo find the number of votes the winner received, we calculate 55%55\% of 17,00017,000.\newline0.55×17,000=9,3500.55 \times 17,000 = 9,350 votes.
  2. Calculate Loser's Votes: Calculate the number of votes the loser received.\newlineSince the winner received 55%55\% of the votes, the loser received the remaining 45%45\% of the votes.\newlineTo find the number of votes the loser received, we calculate 45%45\% of 17,00017,000.\newline0.45×17,000=7,6500.45 \times 17,000 = 7,650 votes.
  3. Find the Difference: Determine how many more votes the winner received than the loser.\newlineSubtract the number of votes the loser received from the number of votes the winner received.\newline9,3509,350 votes (winner) - 7,6507,650 votes (loser) = 1,7001,700 votes.
