The total number of votes would be: 7752 total votes.

Here's how you solve it!

For every 3 yes there was 5 no's.

You would but that into a fraction so it would be 3/5

Then you take the number of no votes and multiply.

3/5 x 4845

Then you would get 2907.

4845+ 2907= 7752

4845= no votes

2907= yes votes

7752= total votes

Hope this helps! :3
