Three election candidates received 1136, 7636, and 11628 votes respectively. What vote percentage did the winner secure?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: D. None of these
Explanation
Summing the individual vote counts of eleven thirty-six, seven_thousand six thirty-six, and eleven_thousand six twenty-eight gives a total of twenty thousand four hundred votes. Dividing the winner's vote count of eleven thousand six twenty-eight by the total votes yields approximately fifty-six point nine nine percent. Since fifty-six point nine nine percent does not match options A, B, or C, none of the specific choices are correct. Election percentage calculations require dividing a candidate's specific vote total by the aggregate sum of all cast ballots. Total voter turnout represents the complete sum of valid votes received by all participating candidates combined. Rounding percentages to one decimal place helps compare fractional election results against standardized multiple-choice options.
Option A suggests eleven point six percent, which drastically underestimates the winning candidate's vote share. Option B proposes sixty percent, overestimating the actual calculated percentage share secured by the winner. Option C suggests seventy-six point four percent, which exceeds the mathematical ratio of the winner's votes to total turnout.
