Now, to solve this, you would need to cross multiply. The equation would look like this...

(3)/(4) =
(x)/(240)

After cross multiplying, you would be left with the following.
4x = 720

All you would have to do now is solve for x.

(4x)/(4) =
(720)/(4) = 180

The answer would be, the winner for class president received 180 votes.

I hope this helps!
