Question

The residence of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 2 if there were 4440 total votes how many yes votes were there

Answer 1

Y / N = 3 / 2

N + Y = 4440

Since Y = 3/2 N

3/2 N + N = 4440

5/2 N = 4440

N = 8880 / 5 = 1776

Y = 1776 * 3 / 2 = 2664

1776 + 2664 = 4440

2664 / 1776 = 3 / 2
