The answer is 2700.

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 ;)
