Question

How much more per cent 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

Answer 1

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.
