1 answer

To find out how many votes the winner received, we need to use the formula:

Winner's votes = Total votes / 2 + Winner's majority

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Winner's votes = 27,180 / 2 + 3,558
Winner's votes = 13,590 + 3,558
Winner's votes = 17,148

Therefore, the winner received 17,148 votes.
