Final answer:
To find the total number of votes using the given ratio of yes to no votes (5 to 4) with 3385 yes votes, we calculate the no votes and add them to the yes votes. The total comes to 6093 votes, which is not an option in the provided answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the topic of ratios in mathematics. If the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 5 to 4 and there were 3385 yes votes, we can establish a proportion to find out the no votes and hence the total number of votes.
Let's denote the number of no votes as 'n'. The ratio 5:4 can be represented as 5/4 = 3385/n. By cross-multiplying, we get n = (4 × 3385) / 5. Calculating this gives us n = 2708 no votes.
The total number of votes is the sum of yes and no votes, which can be calculated as follows:
Total votes = Yes votes + No votes
Total votes = 3385 + 2708
Total votes = 6093
Therefore, the total number of votes cast in the city on whether to raise property taxes is 6093, which is not listed in the given options.
