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

Let's denote the number of yes votes as 4 as 4x and the number of no votes as 3 as3x, where x is a positive constant.

3x=2649

Now, solve for x:

3x =2649

2649/3= 883

Total votes=Yes votes + No votes

Total votes=4x+3x

Total votes =7x

Substitute the value of x

Total votes=7×883

Total votes=6181

Answer 2

y/n= 4/3= y/2649

y = 4(2649)/3 = 3532 yes votes

n+y=2649+3532=

6,181 = total votes
