Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as a proportion. The idea is that if we can find out the number of "no" votes based on the ratio of 5:7, then we can add the "no" votes to the number of "yes" votes to get the total number of votes.
[tex]\frac{yes}{no}:\frac{5}{7}=\frac{3710}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply to get
5x = 25790 so
x = 5194 "no" votes.
5194 + 3710 = 8904 total votes
