In an election between two candidates, the winner secured 60% of the total valid votes and won by a margin of 900 votes. Find the total number of valid votes.

Question

A bought a phone from a store and paid $\frac{1}{6}$ of the price using UPI, $\frac{1}{3}$ of the price in cash, and the remaining balance a year later. He also paid 10% interest on the remaining balance after one year. What was the original price of the phone?

Answer 1

The margin is $60\% - 40\% = 20\%$ of the votes. If $20\%$ corresponds to $900$, then $1\%$ is $45$, so $100\%$ is $45 \times 100 = 4500$.
