The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 . If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?
