The ratio of yes to no votes is 4 to 3, if there were 2649 no votes , what was the total number of votes

Answer 1

If the ratio of yes to no votes is 4 to 3, that means that for every 3 no votes, there are 4 yes votes. This means that there are 4/3 times as many yes votes as there are no votes. 2649 *4/3 = 3532 yes votes.

y : n = 4 : 3

3y = 4n

y = 4/3 * n

y = 4/3 * 2649

y = 3532
