The residence of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes the ratio of yes to no votes was 2 to 3 is there were 4795 total votes how many yes votes were there

Answer 1

Answer: The number of yes votes = 1918.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The ratio of yes to no votes = 2:3

Then the ratio of yes to total votes = $\dfrac{2}{2+3}=\dfrac25$

Total votes = 4795

Number of yes votes  =  (ratio of yes to total votes) x (Total votes )

= $\dfrac{2}{5}\times4795=1918$

Hence, the number of yes votes = 1918.
