In a village election, Sharuk got 80% of the total valid votes. 10% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 4500, then find the number of valid votes the other candidate got.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 810.
Calculations:
Total number of votes = 4500
Total number of valid votes = 90% of 4500 = 4050
Number of valid votes the other candidate got = (100 - 80)% of 4050
⇒ 810
