Question

three candidates contested in an election and received 1136,7636,11628 votes respectively. What percentage of total votes did the winning Candidate get.

Answer 1

hey mate,
here is ur answer.,

total number of votes counted= 1136 + 7636 + 11628
=20,400

winner of election is the person who got highest votes that is third person.

so, percentage is calculated by,

$= (\frac{no. \: of \: votes \: winner \: get}{total \: no. \: of \: votes} \times 100)\%$

$= (\frac{11628}{20400} \times 100)\%$


$= (\frac{11628}{204} )\%$

$= 57\%$

so,

57% total votes did the winning Candidate get.

hope this help u buddy....
