Invalid Vote 20%
So Valid Vote 100-20=80
55% of The Total Valid Vote=80*55/100=44 Rest [80-44]=36.
7500-7500*20/100=6000
Then 36/80*6000=2700 Answer.

7500-7500*20/100=6000
Then 36/80*6000=2700 Answer.

Total Vote = 7500,
55% of 7500 = 4125,
Valid vote = (7500-4125) = 3375,
20% of 3375 = 675(invalid votes),
(valid votes he has got)
(3375-675) = 2700.
55% of 7500 = 4125,
Valid vote = (7500-4125) = 3375,
20% of 3375 = 675(invalid votes),
(valid votes he has got)
(3375-675) = 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).

Invalid votes are 20%.
So total votes 7500*20/100 = 6000.
Another candidate elected 55%.
Remaining percentage are 45%.
= 6000*45/100 = 2700.
So total votes 7500*20/100 = 6000.
Another candidate elected 55%.
Remaining percentage are 45%.
= 6000*45/100 = 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.

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.

How to take 20% is the invalid out of 100%? Why can't to take 20% is from 55%?
Anyone can explain question format is right or not?

Other candidate got 25 % as 55 % to first candidate and 20 % are invalid means neither to first candidate nor to other one.

Here in question itself describe that 20% is invalid votes. Then how are we considered 45% votes for another person.

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.
