Answer:
The total number of votes was [tex]7,007[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of yes votes
y -----> the number of no votes
we know that
[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
isolate variable y
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}x[/tex] -----> equation A
[tex]x=3,822[/tex] -----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}(3,822)=3,185[/tex]
therefore
To find out the total number of votes sum the number of yes votes plus the number of no votes
[tex]3,822+3,185=7,007[/tex]
