The number of electoral votes won by the candidate is $60.3 \%$ of the total votes. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Step 1 ：Given that a certain candidate won 292 electoral votes in an election, out of a total of 484.

Step 2 ：To express the first number as a percentage of the second number, we need to divide the number of votes won by the candidate by the total number of votes, then multiply the result by 100.

Step 3 ：So, the calculation is \(\frac{292}{484} \times 100\).

Step 4 ：After performing the calculation, we get the percentage as approximately 60.3.

Step 5 ：This is the percentage of the total votes that the candidate won.
