1.add all of the votes together. 2. you should get 170 Comment : i see you are dividing 170 by 12. Yea , don't do that. convert 12 into a decimal. for that all you have to do is move the decimal 2 times to the left. (always do that) 3. Now that you know that multiply 170 and 0.12. 4. you should get 20.4 students, but round it to 20 students
