Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Votes received by winning candidate = 1854
Votes received by losing candidate = 618
Formula Used:
Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = (Votes received by winning candidate / Total votes) × 100
Calculation:
Total votes = 1854 + 618
Total votes = 2472
Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = (1854 / 2472) × 100
Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = \( \frac{1854}{2472} \times 100 \)
Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = \( \frac{1854 \times 100}{2472} \)
Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = 75%
The percentage of the total number of votes received by the winning candidate is 75%.
