The entire 8th grade class had a total of 679 students. The winning candidate of the election must have at least 55% of the votes to be declared winner. How many votes will Sarah need to be declared winner?

Hi

To find 55% of 679, multiply
679 x 0.55 = 373.45

Sarah needs at least 374 votes to win.

Hope this helps!
