Votes received by the three candidates: 1,136, 7,636, and 11,628.
Calculations:
Total votes = 1,136 + 7,636 + 11,628 = 20,400
Winning candidate's votes = 11,628
Percentage of votes received by the winning candidate = (Winning candidate's votes / Total votes) × 100
Percentage = (11,628 / 20,400) × 100
Percentage = 0.57 × 100
Percentage = 57%
∴ The winning candidate got 57% of the total votes.
