Question

three candidates received 6600 2172 and 11628 votes in an election. the percentage of the total votes the winning candidate got is

Answer 1

Total votes = 6600 + 2172 + 11628

= 20400 votes

Winning candidate's votes = 11628

Now find the percentage ,$\frac{Winning candidate's votes}{Total votes} *100$

=$\frac{ 11628}{20400} *100$

= 57%

Percentage of the total votes the winning candidate is 57%.
