Answer:
The winning candidate had obtained 26,250 votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming there are only two candidates, winning candidate won
100% - 30% = 70% of votes.
70%-30% = 15000 votes
40% = 15000 votes
Number of votes obtained by winning candidate = 70% of votes
= 15000 × (70/40) = 26,250
