Three candidates contested an election and received 1136, 7636 and 11628 votes respectively. What percentage of the total votes did the winning candidate get?

Answer: Option A

Total number of votes polled
= (1136 + 7636 + 11628)
= 20400
∴ Required percentage
= $$\left(\frac{11628}{20400}\times 100\right)\%$$
= $$57\%$$
