Answer:
The total number of students that voted in the election is 308
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of Students: 350
Percentage of Students that votes: 88%
Required
Number of students that voted.
To calculate the number of students that voted in the election, we have to multiply the percentage given by the total number of students in the school.
This is so because the percentage represents those that voted.
Mathematically, this is represented as:
Number of students that voted = Percentage of students that voted * Total number of students
By substitution, we have
Number of students that voted = 88% * 350
(Convert the percentage to fraction)
Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{88}{100} * 350[/tex]
(Multiply Numerators)
Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{88 * 350}{100}[/tex]
Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{30800}{100}[/tex]
Number of students that voted = [tex]308[/tex]
Hence, the total number of students that voted in the election is 308
