Alicia, Brenda, and Colby were the candidates in a recent election for student president. The pie chart below shows how the votes were distributed among the three candidates. If Brenda received $36$ votes, then how many votes were cast all together? 

$\textbf{(A) }70 \qquad \textbf{(B) }84 \qquad \textbf{(C) }100 \qquad \textbf{(D) }106 \qquad \textbf{(E) }120$
Let $x$ be the total amount of votes casted. From the chart, Brenda received $30\%$ of the votes and had $36$ votes. We can express this relationship as $\frac{30}{100}x=36$. Solving for $x$, we get $x=\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 120}.$
