The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 7 to 4. If there were 6 125 yes votes, what was the total number of votes?
1 answer:
Answer:
3,500 no votes
Step-by-step explanation:
There were 7 yes votes to every 4 no votes. There were a total of 6,125 yes votes, so set up a proportion to find the number of no votes
Let x represent the number of no votes
7 is to 4 as 6,125 is to x
We get
7/4 = 6,125/x
Now solve for x
First cross multiply
7x = 24,500
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x..
x = 3,500 no votes
