Answer 1

Answer:

In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, what was the number of valid votes that the other candidate get?

It is always best to work in a simple sequence.

1. It is always best to work in a simple sequence.There are 7500 total votes. Of these 20% were invalid. This means that 80% were valid.
2. It is always best to work in a simple sequence.There are 7500 total votes. Of these 20% were invalid. This means that 80% were valid.Multiplying 7500 by 80% gives us 6000 valid votes.
3. It is always best to work in a simple sequence.There are 7500 total votes. Of these 20% were invalid. This means that 80% were valid.Multiplying 7500 by 80% gives us 6000 valid votes.Since 55% of the 6000 valid votes were won by one candidate, that candidate got 6000 x 55%, or 3300 votes.
4. It is always best to work in a simple sequence.There are 7500 total votes. Of these 20% were invalid. This means that 80% were valid.Multiplying 7500 by 80% gives us 6000 valid votes.Since 55% of the 6000 valid votes were won by one candidate, that candidate got 6000 x 55%, or 3300 votes.But the question is how many did the other candidate get. You can get this by multiplying the 6000 by 100–55 or 45% of the vote, or simply subtracting 3300 from 6000 which is 2700 votes.
