The electorate in Scotland. Scottish people living outside Scotland have no vote.
A simple majority is needed, in the event of a tie the speaker will vote to break the deadlock.
40 votes out of 135 votes as a percentage = 29.63%% rate:= 40/135 * 100%= 0.2963 * 100%= 29.63%
A simple majority, more accurately called a plurality, can be any percentage as long as it is the highest percentage of votes. An absolute majority is usually any number of votes that is more than 50% of all votes cast, but there are variations. For example, the US Constitution specifies that to win a presidential election, one needs not just a majority of the votes cast; the winner needs the votes of a majority of the appointed electors. So if all 538 electors are appointed but only 270 of them vote, 100% of the 270 votes are needed to win.

An election recount is typically needed if the vote is deemed close enough to warrant one. Usually, the condition for this is less than a difference of a percentage of the votes cast.
It is not votes, but 3/4 of the 50 states which is 38.
The minimum percentage of votes a political party must typically receive to acquire the status of a registered party varies by country. In some places, there may not be a specific vote percentage requirement, but rather a minimum number of votes needed. It's best to consult the specific electoral laws of the country in question to determine the exact threshold.
It is not figured on percentage of votes, but who reaches 270 electoral votes first.
