Let the total number of votes be 7500
20% of Percentage votes were invalid(given)
Valid votes = (100 -20) = 80%
Total valid votes = 80%of 7500
80/100 ×7500
1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.
2nd candidate should have got (100-55) = 45% of the total valid votes
Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x 45/100 =
80/100 ×7500 ×45×100
= 2700
20% of Percentage votes were invalid(given)
Valid votes = (100 -20) = 80%
Total valid votes = 80%of 7500
80/100 ×7500
1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.
2nd candidate should have got (100-55) = 45% of the total valid votes
Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x 45/100 =
80/100 ×7500 ×45×100
= 2700
