84%
78%
75%​

Answer 1

Answer:

52 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Invalid Votes = 5625

Votes got B = 2700

Votes got A =2925

Percentage of votes A got = 52 %

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total votes= 22,500

Invalid votes= 25%of 22,500 = 5,625 votes

So,

Valid votes= (Total votes- Invalid votes) = (22500-5625)= 16,875 votes

Given, B got 2700 valid votes

Therefore, A will get remaining valid votes = (16,875- 2700)= 14,175 votes

So,

Percentage of valid votes of A will be = (14,175/16875)*100= 84% votes

Option B is the correct answer- 84% votes
