To find out how many votes Ted got, we need to determine what percentage of the total votes he received and then multiply that by the total number of votes. From the graph, we can see that Ted received 34% of the votes.

To find out how many votes that represents, we can set up a proportion:

34/100 = x/600

Solving for x, we get:

x = (34/100) * 600

x = 204

Therefore, Ted received 204 votes. Ted received 34% of the vote, which is equivalent to 204 out of 600 votes. This can be found by multiplying 0.34 (or 34%) by 600.
