Answer:
480 votes
Step by Step explanation:
let the total number of votes be x
then ,
winning candidate votes=40/100x
and others are
20/100x and 15/100x
total votes = winning votes+(1st votes share+2nd votes share)
900=40/100x+20/100x+15/100x
900=75/100x
x=900×100/75
x=1200 votes
winning candidate votes share=40% of total votes
40/100×1200
480 votes
