Question 446320
Let {{{a}}} = the number of yes votes
Let {{{b}}} = the number of no votes
given:
(1) {{{ a + b = 4352 }}}
(2) {{{ a/b = 3/5 }}|}
----------------
Multiply both sides of (2) by {{{ 5b }}}
(2) {{{ 5a = 3b }}}
(2) {{{ a = (3/5)*b }}}
Substitute this into (1)
(1) {{{ (3/5)*b + b = 4352 }}}
Multiply both sides by {{{5}}}
(1) {{{ 3b + 5b = 5*4352 }}}
(1) {{{ 8b = 21760 }}}
{{{ b = 2720 }}}
and
(2) {{{ a = (3/5)*b }}}
(2) {{{ a = (3/5)*2720 }}}
(2) {{{ a = 8160/5 }}}
{{{ a = 1632 }}}
1632 yes votes were cast
