Question

Residents of a city voted on weather to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes were 4 to 3. There were 6692 total votes, how many no votes were there?

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

The ratio of Yes votes to No votes = 4 : 3

Total votes = 6692

We are required to find the number of no votes.

Thus, the number of No votes is:

`No\text{ votes}=(3)/(4+3)*6692=(3)/(7)*6692=2868\text{ votes}`

Therefore, the correct answer is 2868.
