The residents 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 1773 yes votes, what was the total number of votes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2955

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yes votes to no votes is 3:2.

The total ratio is:

3 + 2 = 5

Let the total number of votes be x.

The number of yes votes was 1773. This means that:

3/5 * x = 1773

3x = 1773 * 5

x = (1773 * 5) / 3

x = 2955 votes.

There were 2955 votes in total.
