For quicker calculation, after finding the sum(20400).
use trial and error, we know that,20400 x A/100 = 11628.
204 x A =11628,
4*7=28 last digit 8,
thus, 57 is the answer.

@Arya reddy.
When compared to all, the 3 votes given in the question majority is 11628. So it should take in the numerator.

@Ravi.
Winning Candidate vote =11628.
Total vote = 20400.
Winning Candidate vote percentage = (Winning Candidate vote/total vote)*100.
==>(11628/20400)*100.
==>11628/204.
==>57%.
Winning Candidate vote =11628.
Total vote = 20400.
Winning Candidate vote percentage = (Winning Candidate vote/total vote)*100.
==>(11628/20400)*100.
==>11628/204.
==>57%.

p1 + p2 + p3 = 20400.
(11628/20400) * 100 = 11628/204.
204* ??= 11628.
4*7=28
Ans 57.
(11628/20400) * 100 = 11628/204.
204* ??= 11628.
4*7=28
Ans 57.

Where
11,628 as 11,600 and 204 as 200.
11600 รท 200 = 58.
When we multiply 204 with 58 we get 11,832.
Again, multiple 204 with 57 we get 11,628.
And the answer is 57.

Here you can use trial and error method,
Total votes 20400..
winner or 3rd candidate has votes of 11628.
So, 20400*57/100,
= 11628.
Total votes 20400..
winner or 3rd candidate has votes of 11628.
So, 20400*57/100,
= 11628.
