Given that :- samantha got =6.5% of votes 

total votes=277

how many votes did Samantha get=?

so, if On election day, Samantha got just 6.5% of votes then we have to find the 6.5 percent amount of total votes 

277*6.5%=277(6.5/100)

                 =277(13/200)

                 =18.005

so samantha get total 18 votes out of 277 votes
