The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 5. If there were 6462 total votes how many yes votes were there?
using the ratio [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex] we can set up a proportion [tex] \frac{4}{9} = \frac{x}{6462} [/tex] 4+5 = 9 and x = number of yes votes answer is 2872 is the number of yes votes
