Answer 1

Candidate A received 260 votes in the school election.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of votes received by Candidate A, we need to find 65% of the total votes. We can do this by multiplying 65% (or 0.65) by 400.

65% of 400 = 0.65 * 400 = 260 votes.

Therefore, Candidate A received 260 votes.
