In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 184 votes. Find the total number of valid votes?	Pick:	A) 430	B) 438	C) 436	D) 434	E) 460
Let the total number of valid votes be x.   70% of x = 70/100 * x = 7x/10   Number of votes secured by the other candidate = x - 7x/100 = 3x/10   Given, 7x/10 - 3x/10 = 184 =&gt; 4x/10 = 184   =&gt; 4x = 1840 =&gt; x = 460.   Answer:460
