Answer 1

o desko you can do it in the value of a goodvj time

Answer 2

Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000.

Valid votes polled by other candidate = 45% of 6000

= (45/100 x 6000) = 2700.





20% are the invalid votes so we consider only 80%.


Out of 100% votes 20% is invalid votes i.e. 100%-20%= 80% valid votes and 100-55%=45%

OR

We can also do it as ..
There is only 80% votes are valid so
80% of 7500 = 6000 are total valid votes
and one candidate got 55% of total votes
i.e.6000×55/100=3300( votes of one candidate )

So other candidate got votes 6000-3300=2700 votes.

OR


Try this method

Invalid votes = 20×7500/100=1500

Total Valid Votes = 7500-1500=6000

Candidate A got 55×6000/100=3300

Candidate B valid votes = 6000-3300=2700
