308, because you multiply 350 by 0.88 

Answer:

The total number of students that voted in the election is 308

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Students: 350

Percentage of Students that votes: 88%

Required

Number of students that voted.

To calculate the number of students that voted in the election, we have to multiply the percentage given by the total number of students in the school.

This is so because the percentage represents those that voted.

Mathematically, this is represented as:

Number of students that voted = Percentage of students that voted * Total number of students

By substitution, we have

Number of students that voted = 88% * 350

(Convert the percentage to fraction)

Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{88}{100} * 350[/tex]

(Multiply Numerators)

Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{88 * 350}{100}[/tex]

Number of students that voted = [tex]\frac{30800}{100}[/tex]

Number of students that voted = [tex]308[/tex]

Hence, the total number of students that voted in the election is 308
