Answer:
There are 142 students in the class
Explanation:
Given, 55% of students voted for Maya
Assume the total number of students be x
According to the question;
55% of the total students result in 78
Therefore, 55% of x = 78
[tex]\frac{55}{100}x[/tex] = 78
x =[tex]\frac{(78\times 100)}{55}[/tex]
x = 141.8 = 142 (rounded to nearest)
Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 142 students
