Answer 1

130 students

Explanation:

Out of the whole class, if 35% of students voted for Leandro voted for Leonardo , this means that 64% of the class voted for Gerardo.

Let the total number of people in the class be x;

If 70 students voted for Leandro, then;

35% of x = 70

0.35x = 70

x = 70/0.35

x = 200

The total number of people that voted for Gerardo will be 200 - 70 = 130

Hence 130 voted for Gerardo
