To find out how many students voted for the bear, we can use the percentage given.
1. Start with the total number of students: 200.
2. Calculate 74% of 200:
[
text{Number of votes for bear} = 200 times frac{74}{100} = 200 times 0.74 = 148
]
So, 148 students voted for the bear.
Answer: 148 students.
