How could you take valid votes of other candidates as 45%?
The total valid vote is 80%.
So we have to take 80%-55%=25% for other candidates.
The total valid vote is 80%.
So we have to take 80%-55%=25% for other candidates.

(7500 * 4/5)*9/20 = 2700.

Why you all are considering 45% valid votes for other people,
100-20 % = 80% votes are valid,
As 55% valid for one person,
However, 45% is total votes (valid + invalid) other person got.
100-20 % = 80% votes are valid,
As 55% valid for one person,
However, 45% is total votes (valid + invalid) other person got.

1500 is the right answer because 6000 is 100%.
So 25% of 6000is 1500.
So 25% of 6000is 1500.

Anyone please solve this.
In an election, 50000 voters didn't poll their votes. 20% of them who casted were declared invalid and 18% of the valid votes are received by the looser while 26% of the total listed votes are declared nota. If the winner defeated looser by 12100 votes. Then find the total no of votes listed in the voter list.

In an election between a and b 70% of the electors cast their votes and a won the election be 400 votes. If a had received 12.5% less votes than the election would have been a tie if none of the casted votes is declared valid then find the total number of listed votes.
Please solve this.

Let 100% = 7500
10%= 750
20%= 1500
80%= 6000
Again let 100%= 6000
10%= 600, 10*4= 600*4 , 40%= 2400
5%= 300.
Therefore 45%=2400+300= 2700 Ans.
10%= 750

5%= 300.
Therefore 45%=2400+300= 2700 Ans.
