Question 1083889: 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
2556 no votes, what was the total number of votes? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes to no is 3 to 4, so no votes were 4/7 of the total number of votes
2556/4=639
639*7=4473
4473 total votes
check
2556/4473 should be 4/7 or 0.571428. It is.
