Pls help out i need this now!! tysmmm
The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 7. If there were 5803 no votes, what was the total number of votes?

First you need to know that 5803 is the people who said NO. In the ratio it should be represented as a 7. Taking 5803 and dividing it by 7 gives you 829. That shows that the original was 4:7 but they multiplied it by 829 in order to get the people who voted no to get to 5803.

Now you take 829 - which is how much they multiplied the ratio by - and multiply it by 4 to get the people who voted yes which is 3316.

There is no graph to go along with this
