Answer 2

Answer: 108,913

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In  a local election 138201 people voted for the winning candidate.

If the winning candidate won by 29288 votes .

i.e. Difference between winner and the other candidate = 29288

Then, the number of votes the other candidate received is given by using the subtraction operation.

i.e. Number of votes the other candidate received = Votes got by winning candidate - Difference

i.e. Number of votes the other candidate received = 138201-29288=108913

Hence, the number of votes the other candidate received =108,913
