Question

in an election between two candidates one got 55% of the total valid votes 20% votes were invalid if the total number of votes were 7500 what was the number of the violent vote that the other candidate got​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%- 1875 Votes

7500 x 0.55 = 4125  (first candite valid votes)

7500 x 0.20 = 1500 (invalid)

first candite valid votes (55) + invalid votes (20) = 75% of total votes

first candite valid votes (4125) + invalid votes (1500 ) = 5625 of total votes

100 (total percent of votes) - 75 (total percent of votes) = 25% Votes Left

7500 (total number of votes) - 5625 (total number of votes) = 1875 Votes Left

7500 x 0.25 = 1875 (valid votes for the other candite)
