Sagot :

To determine the total number of votes cast in the election, we need to add the number of votes received by each candidate. We have the following information:

- Margie received 490 votes.
- Rachel received 644 votes.

First, we add the votes received by Margie to the votes received by Rachel:

[tex]\[ 490 + 644 \][/tex]

Adding these together, we get:

[tex]\[ 490 + 644 = 1134 \][/tex]

So, the total number of votes cast in the election is 1134.
