It is found that total 67 students voted for eagle.

Two ratios are set to be equal in an equation called a proportion.

Given students at Woodward elementary voted for a school mascot.

Falcon received 5/8 of the vote, winning the post.

Eagle turned up second with 1/3 of the remaining votes.

Total number of students voted for a mascot = 536

The total amount of votes falcon received = 5/8 × 536

= 67 × 5

= 335 votes

Subtract the votes received by falcon from the total number of votes.

= 536 ₋ 335

= 201

Now the remaining votes are 201, from the remaining votes eagle received 1/3 of it.

votes gained by eagle = 1/3 × 201

= 67

Therefore 67 students voted for the eagle.
