Question

The residence of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes the ratio of yes to no votes was 2 to 3 is there were 4795 total votes how many yes votes were there

Answer 1

Answer: The number of yes votes = 1918.

Explanation:

Given : The ratio of yes to no votes = 2:3

Then the ratio of yes to total votes =
`(2)/(2+3)=\frac25`

Total votes = 4795

Number of yes votes = (ratio of yes to total votes) x (Total votes )

=
`(2)/(5)*4795=1918`

Hence, the number of yes votes = 1918.
