Answer:
190.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent total number of votes.
We have been given that Joel got 60% of the votes, which was 38 votes more than Sean.
60% of total votes: [tex]\frac{60}{100}x=0.60x[/tex]
Since Joel got 60% of total votes, so Sean got 40% of total votes that is [tex]\frac{40}{100}x=0.40x[/tex]
Since Joel got 38 votes more than Sean, so we can represent this information in an equation as:
[tex]0.60x=0.40x+38[/tex]
[tex]0.60x-0.40x=0.40x-0.40x+38[/tex]
[tex]0.20x=38[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.20x}{.20}=\frac{38}{.20}[/tex]
[tex]x=190[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of votes cast is 190.
