Question
How much more percent seats were won by X as compared to Y in Assembly Election in the state based on the data given below.
| Party | Won (out of 294) |
| X | 158 |
| Y | 105 |
| Z | 18 |
| W | 13 |
Solution
On the basis of above given table
The total number of seats won by party X = 158
The total number of seats won by party Y = 105
∴ Total number of seats in election = 294
∴ Percentage of seats won by party X = `158/294 xx 100` = 53.74%
∴ Percentage of seats won by party Y = `105/294 xx 100` = 35.71%
So, difference of percentage = (53.74 – 35.71)% = 18.03%
Hence, party X won 18.03% compared to party Y.
