The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 6 to 5. If there were 4570 no votes, what was the total number of votes?

Set up a proportion where y is the number of yes votes to 4570 no votes
6/5 = y/4570

Using our proportion calculator, we get:
y = 5484
