Step 1: Find the total number of votes.
The winner received 1854 votes, and the loser received 618 votes. To find the total number of votes, we add the votes received by both candidates: 1854 + 618 = 2472 votes.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of votes for the winning candidate.
The winning candidate received 1854 votes out of a total of 2472 votes. To find the percentage, we use the formula: (Votes for the winner / Total votes) * 100
(1854 / 2472) * 100 = 75%
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options.
- Option 1 (70%): Incorrect because the calculation shows 75%.
- Option 2 (60%): Incorrect because the calculation shows 75%.
- Option 3 (80%): Incorrect because the calculation shows 75%.
- Option 4 (75%): Correct, as this matches our calculated percentage.
Therefore, 75% of the total votes went in favor of the winning candidate.
