#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char ch;
	string LastNames[5];
	int votes[5] = { 0,0,0,0,0 };
	int summ = 0;
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
	{
		cout << "Please, enter the last name of candidate " << i + 1<<": ";
		cin >> LastNames[i];
		cout << "Please, enter the number of votes received by "<< LastNames[i]<<": ";
		cin >> votes[i];
		summ+= votes[i];
	}
	cout << "\nResults of votes:";
	int maxVotes = votes[0];
	int numcand=0;
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
	{
		cout << "Result of "<< LastNames[i] <<" is "<< votes[i]<<" votes "
			 <<" and "<<votes[i]*100/ summ <<" percents"<<endl;
		if (maxVotes < votes[i])
		{
			maxVotes = votes[i];
			numcand = i;
		}	
	}
	cout << "The winner is " << LastNames[numcand];
}
