The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 6. If there were 10,846 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4930

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yes votes be 5x and the number of no votes be 6x.

Total votes = yes votes + no votes

                   = 5x + 6x

                   = 11x

11x = 10,846

No. of yes votes (5x) = [tex]\frac{5}{11}[/tex] × 10,846

                                  = 4930
