Now, to solve this, you would need to cross multiply. The equation would look like this...
[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{240} [/tex]
After cross multiplying, you would be left with the following.
4x = 720
All you would have to do now is solve for x.
[tex] \frac{4x}{4} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{720}{4} [/tex] = 180
The answer would be, the winner for class president received 180 votes.
I hope this helps!
