Final answer:

Calculations show that Shen received 60 out of the 75 votes, which is 4/5 of the total votes cast for the class president election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shen received 4/5 of the 75 votes cast for class president. To calculate how many votes Shen received, we multiply the total number of votes by the fraction that Shen received:

  1. Start with the total number of votes, which is 75.
  2. Multiply 75 by the fraction of votes Shen received, which is 4/5.
  3. Calculate the product: 75 * (4/5) = 15 * 4 = 60.

Therefore, Shen received 60 out of the 75 votes cast for the election.
