Answer
invalid votes = 1700
other candidate won = 5780 votes
he won by 4760 votes
Step-by-step explanation:
Total votes polled = 8500
20% were invalid = 20/100 * 8500 = 1700
so 6800 are valid votes
candidate 1 got 15% valid votes 15/100 * 6800 = 1020.
other candidate got 6800 - 1020 = 5780 votes
he won by 4760 votes.
