    Question

    Three persons ran for office and got, 1136, 7636 and 11628 votes, respectively. What was the winning candidate's percentage of the total votes?

    A.

    52%

    B.

    61%

    C.

    59%

    D.

    57%

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Let the three persons are A, B, and C
    Votes of A = 1136
    Votes of B =7636
    Votes of C = 11628
    Formula Used:
    Percentage =(Given Value)(Total Value)×100%\frac{(Given \ Value)}{(Total \ Value)}×100 \%

    Solution:
    Total number of votes = 1136 + 7636 + 11628 = 20400
    C got the most number of votes, So C is winning
    C’s vote percent = 1162820400×100=57%\frac{11628}{20400}×100 = 57 \%​​
