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.

@Manu
80/100*7500 = 6000
80/100*7500 = 6000

In 55% votes only 35% of votes only valied therefore 35+45 is 80 to find total no of valid votes we do 80*7500/100
