    Answer: 8525

    Step-by-step explanation

    Let the total number votes = x

    Ratio of yes votes = 7

    Ratio of no votes. = 4

    Total vote. = 11

    Total number that voted for yes

    = 5425

    Therefore total number of vote casted.

    7/11 x X = 5425

    7x/11 = 5425

    7x = 5425 x 11

    7x = 59675

    To find x, divide through by 7

    x = 59675/11

    = 8525
