Seven candidates with the following voting results:

27% - First Place
24% - Second Place
20% - Third Place
15% - Fourth Place
7%   - Fifth Place
5%   - Sixth Place
2%   - Seventh Place

You can eliminate fifth, sixth, and seventh place candidates because their combined score of 14% which is less than the 15% received by the fourth placed candidate.
