Answer:

The total  number of votes 6976 votes

Explanation:

We are given the ratio of yes to no votes is equal to 3 to 5 and there were total 4360 no votes.

Let no. of yes votes be equal to x

So we can write 3:5 = x:4360

total number of yes votes can be obtained by Solving for x

[tex]x = \frac{(4360\times 3)}{5}[/tex]

= 2616

Now total number of votes =

sum of total number of yes votes and total number of no votes

= 2616 + 4360

= 6976

Hence, 6976 is the total number of votes of the residents
