The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 7 if there were 5887 no votes what was the total number of votes

Answer :

10092 votes

Ratio yes : no = 5 : 7 = 4205 : 5887
So total votes = 4205 + 5887

Yes vote was 5/7 of no vote
5/7 x 5887 = 4205
