hi friend,
the total number of votes are 7500
→given 20% of the votes were invalid
→no.of invalid votes are 20/100×7500
=1500
→no.of valid votes are 7500-1500=6000
given ,one got 55%of the total valid votes
=55/100×6000
=3300
hence the total no.of valid votes that other person got will be 6000-3300
=2700
I hope this will help u ;)
