A total of 120,000 votes were cast for 2 opposing candidates, Garcia and Pérez. If Garcia won by a ratio of 5 to 3, what was the number of votes cast for Pérez?



Answer :

Total votes = 120,000
Gracia won by a ratio of 5 : 3
so, total votes earned by Gracia = 5/8 * 120,000 = 75000


So, number of votes cast for Pérez = (120000 - 75000)
                                                   =
