Question

I NEED THIS ASAP!!! The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 4. If there were 4045 yes votes, what was the total number of votes?

Answer 1

The total number of votes was 7281 .

Explanation:

Let the number of no votes be x

yes : no

5 : 4

4045 : x

4045÷5 = 809

so,

x = 4 × 809 = 3236

3236 people voted no .

Total number of votes = 4045 + 3236

= 7281 ( Ans )
