Answer 1

Given,

Total number of votes casted = 42,000

The winner received 3/5 of the votes.

To find,

How many votes did the winner not receive.

Solution,

Votes received by the winner is :

`(3)/(5)* 42000\\\\=25200`

Votes didn't received by the winner = Total votes - votes received

= 42,000 -25200

= 16800
