Starting from the back. If the successful candidate got 54% of the votes, the other guy got 46% (since there are only two candidates). So we see a difference of 8% yields a difference of 1620 people. So the total number of valid votes is 1620 100/8=20250 And only 90% of votes cast were valid. So number of votes cast was 20250 100/90=22500
And only 90% of registered voters voted. So total number of voters=22500*10/9=25000.
