In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was:
2700
2900
3000
3100
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000.

Valid votes polled by other candidate = 45% of 6000

= 45 x 6000 = 2700.
100

Here, 45 comes because 15 are invalid votes out of 55.

How valid votes become 35%?

It is 80-55=25%, right?

Moni said:   1 decade ago
20% are the invalid votes so we consider oly 80%.

Why we considered 100 that should be out of 80%?
