In an election between two candidates, one got 60% of the total valid votes and 15% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes were 8400, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got were:
A.2998
B.3117
C.3213
D.2856✓ Correct
Explanation
Total valid votes = 85% of 8400 = 7140. First candidate got 60% of 7140 = 4284. Second candidate got 40% of 7140 = 2856.
