Well,

The the ratio of (number of students who voted for the winner) to (total number of students who voted) is 0.88:1.00 (note that .88 (or 88%) represents the number of students who voted for the winner.

We can re-write the decimal as a percent.
88% of the students voted for the winner.

The total number of students who voted was 125. Therefore (.88)125 = number of students who voted for the winner.

(.88)125 = 110

The winner of the election got 110 votes.
