318 students voted in the election.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Votes received by Juan = 236
Also,
Votes received by Juan = 1/3 of votes + 130
Let,
x represent the total number of votes.
According to given statement;
[tex]\frac{1}{3}x+130=236\\\\\frac{1}{3}x=236-130\\\\\frac{1}{3}x=106[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3
[tex]3*\frac{1}{3}x=106*3\\x=318[/tex]
318 students voted in the election.
