Question 975759
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If 52% of the vote wins by a margin of 98 votes, then 2% of the valid ballots must be 98 votes.  Hence if *[tex \Large x] is the number of valid ballots, then *[tex \Large 0.02x\ =\ 98].  Solve for *[tex \Large x] to get the number of valid ballots then add 65 to get the total number of votes cast.


And next time you post, please have the courtesy to use standard English, proper spelling, and correct punctuation.  It took me longer to decipher your gibberish than it did to answer the question.  Just plain rudeness on your part.
