Answer to Question #181184 in C++ for luna

Question

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the number of votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate’s name, the number of votes received, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the winner of the election.

sample output:

Candidate         Votes Received       % of Total Votes

Johnson        5000           25.91

Miller                      4000                          20.73

Total                         9000

The winner of the election is Johnson.
