🗳️ Let’s calculate the percentage of total votes the winning candidate received! 🤔
Step 1: Calculate the total number of votes cast 📊
Total votes = Votes received by candidate 1 + Votes received by candidate 2 + Votes received by candidate 3
= 1136 + 7636 + 11628
= 20400 votes
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of total votes received by the winning candidate 📈
Percentage = (Votes received by winning candidate / Total votes) × 100
= (11628 / 20400) × 100
= 57%
The final answer is: 🎉 The winning candidate received 57% of the total votes. 🗳️
