Question

Juan received 236 votes in a school electionIf he received 130 more than of the total number 1/3 of votes , how many students voted in the election ?

Answer 1

318 students voted in the election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Votes received by Juan = 236 votes

Let x represent the number of total votes.

According to given statement;

Juan received 130 more than 1/3 of total votes.

$236=\frac{1}{3}x+130\\\\236-130=\frac{1}{3}x\\\\106=\frac{1}{3}x\\\\\frac{1}{3}x=106$

Multiplying both sides by 3

$3*\frac{1}{3}x=106*3\\x=318$

318 students voted in the election.
