Question 67699

Let x=number of votes loser got

Then x+220=number of votes the winner got

Now we are told that:

x+x+220=810  subtract 220 from both sides
2x=810-220

2x=590
x=295-----------------------------number of votes for loser

x+220=295+220=515------------------number of votes for winner


Ck

295+515=810
810=810
