The correct answer is 3000
43% + 43% = 86% that's what has lead to a tie between the candidates
14% (100 - 86) % are decisive votes (420)
Let X be the total number of votes cast.
Then
14% of X =420,
X = 420/14% = 3000
43% + 43% = 86% that's what has lead to a tie between the candidates
14% (100 - 86) % are decisive votes (420)
Let X be the total number of votes cast.
Then
14% of X =420,
X = 420/14% = 3000
