Explanation / Answer
#Since language was not given hence I coded in python
names = []
votes = []
percentage = []
print " *******Candidate******"
for i in range(0,5):
name = raw_input("Enter candidate name::")
names.append(name);
print " ****VOTES****"
for i in range(0,5):
vote = int(raw_input("Enter Votes received::"))
votes.append(vote);
maximum = 0
j=-1
total = 0
for i in range(0,5):
total += votes[i]
if maximum<votes[i]:
maximum = votes[i]
j = i
for i in range(0,5):
percentage.append((votes[i]*1.0/total)*100)
print "Candidate Votes Received % of Total Voted"
for i in range(0,5):
print names[i]+" "+str(votes[i])+" "+str(percentage[i])
print "Total "+str(total)
print "The Winner of the Election is "+names[j]
