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.
