- Total votes = 16,250.

- 20% of the votes were invalid, so valid votes = 80% of total votes.

- Calculate valid votes: \( 16,250 \times 0.80 = 13,000 \).

- First candidate received 60% of valid votes.

- Calculate votes for first candidate: \( 13,000 \times 0.60 = 7,800 \).

- Second candidate received remaining 40% of valid votes.

- Calculate votes for second candidate: \( 13,000 \times 0.40 = 5,200 \).
