Can you solve this simple math problem?

Asked by LostInParadise (31926points) 3 months ago

Here is a problem of a type that I would think occurs fairly often.

The Senate votes on a proposal. The ratio of votes in favor to votes against the proposal is 7 to 4. If 99 senators voted, how many votes were there for and against the proposal?

Can you solve this without using algebra?
