In an election between two candidates, one candidate gets 72% of the total votes cast. If the total votes are 1000, by how many votes does the winner win the election?
440
The winning candidate gets 72% of the total votes, so the losing candidate gets 100% - 72% = 28% of the total votes.
The margin between the winner and the loser is 72% - 28% = 44% of the total votes.
Margin = 44% of 1000 = (44/100) x 1000 = 440.
So the winner wins the election by 440 votes.
