If the ratio of key to student council is 7 to 9,
then the ratio of key to total is 7 to 16 and
the ratio of student council to total is 9 to 16.
If the total is 353, then the ratio equation would be,,

where X is the total number of key members in your total.

We round that value down to 154 since we can only have integer values.
X=154
