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 ?
Total number of votes = 560000
invalid votes=15%
Valid votes = 85% of 560000
         = 476000
Number of valid votes got by winning candidate = 75% of 476000
                                    =$$ \frac{75}{100} \times 476000 $$
                                    = 357000
