N an election, everyone voted for either Cindy or Shawn. Cindy received 55% of the votes. Shawn received 423 votes.

How many total people voted in the election?

Let x be the amount of people

Since Cindy received 55% of votes, Shawn received (1-55%) = 45% of votes

x * 45%=423

x=423:0.45

=940

So there are total 940 people voted in the election
