1. Given data : In an election, candidate A got 70 % of the total valid votes. 20 % of the total votes were declared invalid. The total number of votes is 600000.

   To find : find the number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate ?

   Solution : Now, we need to find first number of invalid votes which is 20 %.

   ⟹ {invalid votes/600000} * 100 = 20

   ⟹ invalid votes/600000 = 20/100

   ⟹ invalid votes/600000 = 0.2

   ⟹ invalid votes = 0.2 * 600000

   ⟹ invalid votes = 120000

   Now, total votes are (after removing invalid voters vote)

   ⟹ Total votes = 600000 – 120000

   ⟹ Total votes = 480000

   Here, we know total valid votes are 70%.

   ⟹ {valid votes/total votes} * 100 = 70

   ⟹ {valid votes/480000} * 100 = 70

   ⟹ valid votes/480000 = 70/100

   ⟹ valid votes/480000 = 0.7

   ⟹ valid votes = 0.7 * 480000

   ⟹ valid votes = 336000

   Answer : The number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate is 336000.
