juan recieved 685 votes in a school election if he received 125 more the 2/3 of the total number of votes , how many students voted in the election
685 + 125 = 810 total votes.
Let the total number of voters =V
2/3V =810 multiply both sides by 3/2
V = 810 x 3/2 =1,215 students that voted.
Let T be total number of votes.
685 = 2T/3 + 125
560 = 2T/3
3*560/2 = T
T = 840
