In an election between two candidates, the winner has a margin of 10% of the votes polled. If 1500 people change their mind and vote for the loser, the loser would have won by a margin of 10% of the votes polled. Find the total number of votes polled in the election?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 30,000 B) 15,450 C) 45,000 D) 60,000 E) 15,000
Total # of votes cast = 100x, out of these, let the # of votes won by the winner = w, and for the loser(l) = 100x-w. Given that w-(100x-w) = 10% of total votes cast = 10x   Thus, 2w-100x = 10x →→ w = 55x and l = 100x-55x = 45x.   According to the new condition, if the loser had won 45x+1500 votes, then , (45x+1500)-(55x-1500) 100 -55=

45x.   According to the new condition, if the loser had won 45x+1500 votes, then , (45x+1500)-(55x-1500)= 10 % of total votes cast = 10x   Thus, 3000 = 20x and 100x = 15000   ANSW15,000R:15,000
