Question

Apoorva receive three fourth of all votes cast in the election of for school president if he received 876 votes how many student voted

Answer 1

Hey Mate,

Given,

Apoorva received three-fourth of the total votes cast in the school. Then,

Let us take the total number of students who voted to be "x". Then,

=> 876 = $\frac{3x}{4}$ ( Since, 876 is equal to three-fourth of x )

On transposing 4 from RHS to LHS, we get:-

=> 876 * 4 = 3x

=> 3504 = 3x

On transposing 3 from RHS to LHS, we get:-

=> 3504/3 = x

=> x = 1168

Therefore, the total number of students who voted is equal to 1168.

Verification:-

We know that Apoorva received three-fourth of the total number of votes.

Total number of Votes = 1168

Number of Votes Apoorva received = ( 3/4 ) * 1168

876 = 3504/4

876 = 876

Since, LHS = RHS, the answer is correct.

Hope it Helps!
