Given:
Total votes = 560000
Invalid votes = 15%
Valid votes = 85%
Winning candidate got 75% of the valid votes.
Formula Used:
Valid votes = Total votes - Invalid votes
Votes received by the winning candidate = 75% of valid votes
Solution:
Valid votes = 85% of 560000 = (85/100) × 560000 = 476000
Votes received by the winning candidate = 75% of 476000 = (75/100) × 476000 = 357000
Thus, the winning candidate received 357000 valid votes.
