The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 7 . If there were 2580 total votes, how many no votes were there?

Answer 1

Y+N=2580, so Y=2580-N

4Y=7N, so 4(2580-N)=7N -> 10320-4N=7N -> 10320=11N However, this does not divide evenly. Was there perhaps a typo in the question?
