in an election between two candidates , one got 45 % of the total valid votes , 20 % of the votes were invalid . if the total number of votes was 2000 , the number of valid votes that the other candidate got , was :
"number of valid votes = 80 % of 4000 = 3200 . valid votes polled by other candidate = 55 % of 4000 = ( 55 / 100 ) x 8000 = 2200 answer = a"
multiply(multiply(subtract(const_1, divide(20, const_100)), subtract(const_1, divide(45, const_100))), 2000)
