Question 38616
Set up a ratio of Yes votes compared to Total votes cast.  If the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 2, then there were 3 yes votes cast for every 5 total votes.  Set up the following ratio:

{{{(Yes)/(Total) = 3/5 = 2124/x}}}


Now, since {{{a/b=c/d}}} means that {{{ad=bc}}},

{{{3/5 = 2124/x}}} means taht {{{3x = 5*2124}}}
{{{3x = 10620}}}
{{{x=3540}}} total votes cast.
