Answer:

A) 2700

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of votes is 7500

20% of the votes are invalid

80% of the votes are valid

55% of the total of valid votes were given to one of the candidates.

45% of the total of valid votes were given to the other candidate.

80% of 7500 = 6000

20% of 7500 = 1500

Let's check to see if we are correct!

6000 + 1500 = 7500

Seems like we are correct! Now, let's do the other part.

55% of 6000 =  3300

45% of 6000 =  2700

Let's check to see if we are correct!

3300 + 2700 = 6000

We are correct again! Seems like the person who got 45% of the candidates who gave valid votes got 2700! There is our answer!

Hope I helped! <3
