Question

A winning candidate gets 900 votes and two other candidates gets 800 and 300 vote in University election, what is the percentage of vote of winning candidate?​

Answer 1

The percentage of vote of winning candidate = 45 %

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Question, Let,

• A = 900 votes
• B = 800 votes
• C = 300 votes

Now, we know that, A has got 900 votes. B has got 800 votes and C has got 300 votes. A got the highest number of votes. And so, A would be winner.

First let's find the total Number of votes,

Total votes = 900 + 800 + 300 = 2,000

So, totally we have 2,000 votes.

Finding the percentage,

$\boxed{Percentage\:of\:vote\:of\:winner = {\dfrac{Winner's \:No.\:of.\:Vote}{Total\:No.\:of.\:Votes}}\:\times\:100}$

$\implies\sf{{\dfrac{900}{2000}}\:\times\:100}$

$\implies\sf{{\cancel{\dfrac{900}{2000}}}\:\times\:100}$

$\implies\sf{45}$ %

Hence, The percentage of vote of winning candidate = 45 %
