the residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 5. if there were 4360 no votes, what was the total
number of votes?
total votes

The total  number of votes 6976 votes

Explanation:

We are given the ratio of yes to no votes is equal to 3 to 5 and there were total 4360 no votes.

Let no. of yes votes be equal to x

So we can write 3:5 = x:4360

total number of yes votes can be obtained by Solving for x

= 2616

Now total number of votes =

sum of total number of yes votes and total number of no votes

= 2616 + 4360

= 6976

Hence, 6976 is the total number of votes of the residents

answer:

3 bags of apples and 2 bags of oranges.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
