The percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = 57%
Given:
The votes received by three persons are 1704, 11454, 17442 votes
To find:
The total number of vote polled.
The percentage of the total votes received by the winning candidate
Solution:
Given the votes received by three persons are 1704, 11454, 17442 votes
⇒ total votes received = 1704 + 11454 + 17442 = 30600
As we know the person who got highest votes is the winning candidate
The votes received by winning candidate = 17442
The percentage of total votes received by winning candidate
= (winning votes / total votes ) × 100
= (17442 /30600 ) × 100
= (0.57)(100)
= 57%
Therefore,
The percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = 57%
