The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 4. If there were 3564 no votes, what was the
total number of votes?

Sagot :

Answer:

so their was 3 to 4 so we need to divide 3564 by 3

and then mulitply by 4 to get 4752

Hope This Helps!!!

  • Let total yes votes be x

ATQ

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{x}{x+3564}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto 4x=3x+10692[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto 4x-3x=10692[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto x=10692[/tex]
