In an election,10% of the votes were declared invalid. if a candidate got 40% of a valid votes and if the total number of votes polled were 6,00,000 find the number of valid votes polled in favour of the candidate? answer with calculation and steps plz

the candidate polled 216000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes(both valid and invalid) is 600000. 10% of the total number of votes were declared invalid. This means that the total number of invalid votes is

10/100× 600000 = 0.1×600000 = 60000 votes. Total number of valid votes = 600000 - 60000 = 540000.

If a candidate got 40% of the valid votes, it means that the total number of votes that the candidate got would be

40/100×540000 = 0.4 × 540000 = 216000 votes
