Question

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?

Answer 1

• Let total yes votes be x

ATQ

`\\ \tt\longmapsto (3)/(4)=(x)/(x+3564)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 4x=3x+10692`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 4x-3x=10692`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto x=10692`

Answer 2

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!!!
