Answer 1

80 students

Explanation:

Let the number of voters in the election for class president is x.

So, given that 40% of the voters voted for Gerardo,35% of the voters voted for Leonardo, and 25% of the voters voted for Juju.

So, the number of voters for Leonardo was
`x * (35)/(100) = 0.35x`

Given that, 0.35x = 70

⇒ x = 200

Now, the number of voters for Gerardo was
`(x * (40)/(100)) = 0.4x = 0.4(200) = 80`.
