The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes 4 to 5 no votes was to . If there were 5364 total votes, how many no votes were there?

Respuesta :

Answer is 2980 no votes

Step by step

You have 5364 votes total
You have 4 to 5 yes to no votes

So you have 5/9 no votes

5/9 = 5364

26820 / 9 = 2980 no votes

If you did the same with yes votes

4/9 = 5364

21456 / 9 = 2384 yes votes

Add 2980 and 2384 = 5364 total votes
