let the number of votes of loser is = x
so the number of votes of winner is = x+756
so total votes are = x+x + 756 = 2x+756
according to the problem = (x+756)/(2x+756) X 100 = 71
(x+756)100 = 71(2x+756)
100x + 75600 = 142x + 53676
42x = 21924
x = 522
so the total number of votes is = 2x + 756 = 2(522) + 756
= 1044 + 756
= 1800
