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.
[tex]236=\frac{1}{3}x+130\\\\236-130=\frac{1}{3}x\\\\106=\frac{1}{3}x\\\\\frac{1}{3}x=106[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3
[tex]3*\frac{1}{3}x=106*3\\x=318[/tex]
318 students voted in the election.
