Given:

Votes received by winning candidate = 1854

Votes received by losing candidate = 618

Formula Used:

Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = (Votes received by winning candidate / Total votes) × 100

Calculation:

Total votes = 1854 + 618

Total votes = 2472

Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = (1854 / 2472) × 100

Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = \( \frac{1854}{2472} \times 100 \)

Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = \( \frac{1854 \times 100}{2472} \)

Percentage of total votes received by winning candidate = 75%

The percentage of the total number of votes received by the winning candidate is 75%.
