@All.
(100-20)% = 80% of valid votes.
80/100*7500 = 6000,
Then for one candidate it is 55% question for other so,(100-55)% = 45%,
So,
45/100 * 6000 = 2700.
(100-20)% = 80% of valid votes.
80/100*7500 = 6000,
Then for one candidate it is 55% question for other so,(100-55)% = 45%,
So,
45/100 * 6000 = 2700.

Total votes = 7500
Invalid votes = 20%
=>20/100 * 7500
= 1500.
Valid votes = 7500-1500 => 6000,
55% of 6000= 3300,
45%(other candidate)= 6000- 3300,
= 2700.
Invalid votes = 20%
=>20/100 * 7500
= 1500.
Valid votes = 7500-1500 => 6000,
55% of 6000= 3300,
45%(other candidate)= 6000- 3300,
= 2700.

Base value 100% the invalid votes are 20% so the valid votes are 80% next one got 55%
So,55% of 80% = 44%.
The winner is 44% and the loser is 36% . The question is the total no of other candidates,
36% = x(unknown value).
100%= 7500(total votes), cross multiple
X*100 = 36 * 7500.
So, x is 2700.
So,55% of 80% = 44%.
The winner is 44% and the loser is 36% . The question is the total no of other candidates,
36% = x(unknown value).
100%= 7500(total votes), cross multiple
X*100 = 36 * 7500.
So, x is 2700.

The answer rite.
First deduct the invalid 20% from the total 7500 =6000.
So the other candidate valid vote is 45/100*6000=2700 (since 55-100=45).
First deduct the invalid 20% from the total 7500 =6000.
So the other candidate valid vote is 45/100*6000=2700 (since 55-100=45).

Other Candidates found Valid votes are = 100-55 = 45.
and
Invalid Votes are = 100-20 = 80.
Total No.of Votes are = 7500.
80X/100 + 45X/100 = 7500.
125X = 750000.
X = 750000/125 = 6000.
Than The number of valid votes that the other candidate got are,
Put the value of X,
45 x 6000 /100 = 2700 , Option - (A).
and
Invalid Votes are = 100-20 = 80.
Total No.of Votes are = 7500.
80X/100 + 45X/100 = 7500.
125X = 750000.
X = 750000/125 = 6000.
Than The number of valid votes that the other candidate got are,
Put the value of X,
45 x 6000 /100 = 2700 , Option - (A).

55% Votes Are Valid.. And Remaining 45% is 3375.
So, out of these 45%.
20% are Invalid so 20% of 3375 (i.e 45%) is 675 votes which are Invalid and Valid Votes are 3375-675 = 2700.
So, out of these 45%.
20% are Invalid so 20% of 3375 (i.e 45%) is 675 votes which are Invalid and Valid Votes are 3375-675 = 2700.

Total votes is 7500, invalid votes is 20%= 6000.
6000 * 55%=3300 valid votes and remaining votes are 6000-3300=2700.
6000 * 55%=3300 valid votes and remaining votes are 6000-3300=2700.

Valid vote for A = 55/100.
Number of valid votes = 80 * 7500/100 = 6000,
Valid votes pooled by A = 55 * 6000/100 = 3300,
So, 6000 - 3300 = 2700.
Number of valid votes = 80 * 7500/100 = 6000,
Valid votes pooled by A = 55 * 6000/100 = 3300,
So, 6000 - 3300 = 2700.

They are asking for valid votes.
Valid votes are 80% which is equal to 6000. In these 6000 votes A got 55% and the remaining valid votes are 25%. So the answer is 25% of 6000.
