Question

In an election, candidate A got 75% of the total valid votes. If 15% of the total votes were declared invalid and the total numbers of votes is 560000, find the number of valid vote polled in favour of candidate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of invalid votes =15% of 560000

15/100 ×560000=  8400000/100 ​ =84000

Total number if valid votes 560000−84000=476000

Percentage of votes polled in favour of candidate A =75%

Therefore, the number of valid votes polled in favour of candidate A =75% of 476000

=  75 /100×476000=  35700000/100  =357000
