Question

1) In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes and got 20%
invalid votes. At the end of the day when the total number of votes were counted, the total
number was found to be 7500. So what was the total number of valid votes that the winning
candidate got, was:
a) 2400
b) 3100
c) 3400
d) 2700​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of votes = 7500

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

=> Valid votes = 80%

Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100)

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100)

7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

Explanation:

answer is : 2700

Answer 2

Answer:

hope it may help you

Explanation:

Total number of votes =7500

20% of Percentage votes were invalid

Valid votes = 80%

Total valid votes = 7500×(80/100)

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100)

=7500×(80/100)×(45/100) = 2700
