Question

In an election, a candidate won by getting 75% of the valid votes. Out of a total number of 560000 votes, 15% were invalid. What is the number of valid votes got by the winning candidate?

A.

350000

B.

280000

C.

357000

D.

275000

Correct option is C

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.
