Three candidates, Bani, Riya and Shruti contested an election and received 120, 170 and 210 votes respectively. What percent of the total votes did Bani get? Correct Answer 24%

Given:

Number of votes Bani get = 120 votes

Number of votes Riya get = 170 votes

Number of votes Shruti get = 210 votes

Calculation:

Total votes in the election

⇒ 120 + 170 + 210

⇒ 500

Number of votes Bani get = 120

Percentage of Bani’s votes = (120/500) × 100

⇒ 24%

∴ Bani got 24% votes.
