Final answer:
The total number of votes is found by first determining how many times the ratio of votes has occurred and then adding the yes and no votes based on this ratio. After calculating, the total votes equal 5313, which is not one of the answer choices provided, indicating a possible error in the question.
Correct option is d. 5052
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about determining the total number of votes cast in a city's property tax vote, given the ratio of yes votes to no votes and the number of yes votes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was given as 4:3, and the number of yes votes is 3036.
Step 1: Write down the ratio of yes to no votes, which is 4:3.
Step 2: For every 4 yes votes, there are 3 no votes. If there were 3036 yes votes, we divide 3036 by the ratio number for yes votes, which is 4, to find out how many times the ratio has occurred:
3036 ÷ 4 = 759 time
Step 3: Since the no votes are 3 times the number of occurrences of the ratio, we multiply the number of times the ratio has occurred by 3
759 × 3 = 2277 no votes
Step 4: To find the total votes, we add the yes votes and the no votes:
Total votes = yes votes + no votes = 3036 + 2277 = 5313 votes
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the provided choices. There seems to be an error in the question or answer choices, as the calculated total number of votes is not a provided option.
