80% of the student voted for jane as class presidnt if she recived 112 votes how many students voted

Answer 1

There were a total of 140 students who voted in the class election.

To calculate this, we can set up a proportion:

80% = 112/x

Cross multiplying, we get:

80x = 112 * 100
80x = 11200
x = 11200 / 80
x = 140

Therefore, 140 students voted in the class election.
