Answer:

The total number of voters was 7488

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve this question using the ratio method

∵ The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 5

∵ There were 4160 no votes

∵ We need to find the total number of votes

∵ The total of the ratio = 4 + 5 = 9

→ By using the ratio method

→ YES    :    NO    :    Total

→ 4         :    5       :     9

→  x        :   4160  :     y

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ 5 × y = 4160 × 9

∴ 5y = 37440

→ Divide both sides by 5 to find y

∵ \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{37440}{5}

∴ y = 7488

∵ y represents the total number of voters

∴ The total number of voters was 7488

So 10.38 gal at 2.289 oer gal but you want american mony so round 2.289 to two decimal places so 2.29 per gallon

2.29 times 10.38=23.7702 but you just cross out the '2' in the ten-thousanth's place because 1/50 of a cent is really small


it is not possible to pay 9/10 of a cent so they just want you to round it up to 1 cent or10/10 cent
