Answer:
400 students voted in the election
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of votes received by Priscilla = 240
This was 60% of the students who voted in the election.
To find: Total number of students who voted in the election
Solution:
Total number of votes received by Priscilla = 60% of Total number of students who voted in the election
240 = 60% of Total number of students who voted in the election
240 = [tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex] × Total number of students who voted in the election
So,
Total number of students who voted in the election [tex]=\frac{240(100)}{60}=400[/tex]
