Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Votes for the first candidate = 1136
Votes for the second candidate = 7636
Votes for the third candidate = 11628
Formula Used:
Winning candidate's percentage = (Votes for the winning candidate / Total votes) × 100
Calculation:
Total votes = 1136 + 7636 + 11628
Total votes = 20400
Votes for the winning candidate = 11628
Winning candidate's percentage = (11628 / 20400) × 100
Winning candidate's percentage = (11628 / 20400) × 100
⇒ Winning candidate's percentage = 0.57 × 100
⇒ Winning candidate's percentage = 57%
The correct answer is option 3
